Charles T. Lowry
Charles T. Lowry, merchant; Powell; is a son of John Lowry, and was born in this township March 9, 1850; his father taught him the rudiments of husbandry, and early impressed on his mind and character the principles of economy and industry, which have characterized his father's successful career. He remained with his parents until his 24th year, and before embarking in business for himself, "wooed and won" the hand of Elizabeth Demorest, born in this county Feb 9, 1856; she is a daughter of John Demorest, who was a native of New Jersey; their nuptials were celebrated Sept. 1, 1874, and they moved to Powell, where he engaged in the mercantile business with T.N. Richey; this partnership lasted about two years, at which time they dissolved. In February, 1879, he started business on his own account; keeps a general stock; is successful, and bids fair to become one of the solid merchants of the county. They have one child -- Andrew, born March 11, 1876.
