“Grandmother” Lowe Passes Her 90th Birthday With Friends.

“Grandmother” Lowe, who makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. John Mitchell, was 90 years old March 28th and the occasion was remembered by many of her friends, who called in the afternoon. VGrandma” is quite spry for one so old and walks around with one cane. When asked how old she was her reply was “almost a hundred.” She told stories oi her young days, which she can remember well, and also about her brothers and sisters, but she can not remember what happens now but a short time. The friends were royally entertained at a 4 o’clock luncheon, at which “Grandma” Lowe and Mrs. Iliff asked the blessing. Those present were Mrs. Wm. Hoover, Mrs. E. L. Fidler, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Alf Hoover, Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Iliff, Mrs. Tullis, Mrs. Kessinger, Mrs. Julius Huff, Mrs. Bowers, Miss Hattie Iliff, Mrs. Welsh and Mrs. Michaels. All left wishing her many more happy birthdays.
