Newton Co., IN Bio

Newton County, Iroquois Township.  From A History of Warren, Benton, 
Jasper & Newton Counties, 1883. 

   JOHN LOWE, farmer and stock-dealer, is a native of Tennessee, and 
came with his parents, about 1848, to Jasper County, of which his 
father was a pioneer, and where he took claim, made some improvements,
and later removed to another part of the county; he improved, in all, 
three farms, and is now a resident of Kentland.
   In 1861, John Lowe enlisted in Company B, Fifty-first Regiment 
Indiana Volunteer Infantry.  He was engaged in the battles of Perryville
and Mumfordsville, and on the forced march of Gen. Buell from 
Stevenson, Alabama to Louisville, Kentucky.  After fifteen months
service, he was discharged on account of illness.
   In 1863, he married Miss Keziah Jones, daughter of Cornelius Jones.
This union was honored with four children--Charles C., M.E., Bennett 
and Greenberry G.  Mr. Lowe has a fine and productive farm.  He usually
plants 100 acres of corn, raises from fifty to sixty tons of hay, 200
head of hogs, and seventy-five to eighty head of cattle every year, 
besides 1,200 to 1,500 bushels of oats.
