Notes for R
OBERT EDWARD LOWE:
Notes by Carolyn Lowe

We actually do not know anything about Robert Edward before 190l. The Family story is that he left New York on the run from the law and got as far as Missouri. In Missouri he either had a job as a sawfiler or saw a pretty little red headed lady and married her. He never had contact with his parents or any siblings after going to Missouri. This side will be very hard to trace and to get documentation on.

Notes from Bob and Carolyn Lowe

We remember Grandpa John telling stories to our son, Robert, who would set and just listen to Grandpa John either read a story or tell something that had happened to him. When John became weak with his cancer he made a pull cart for Robert. Robert would sit and Grandpa John would pull him around the yard all the time talking to him.

John passed away when Robert was 6 years old and 5 months before our first daughter, Nancy, was born.

From Grandpa John I feel that Robert learned to spin tales and he does this very well.

***********************************


There is some records that show John had a middle name - Frank-. We are not sure at this time.
