Newton Co., IN Bio

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

   DAVID E. LOWE, dealer in drugs and groceries, Foresman Station, is a
native of Tennessee, born in 1847, and a son of Francis and Sarah
(Kenney) Lowe, both natives of North Carolina.  Francis Lowe was a 
pioneer of Jasper County, he now resides at Kentland.  David lived with
his parents until 1875, when he married Miss Ella Smith, daughter of 
Nathaniel Smith, an early settler of Newton County, of which her
grandfather was a pioneer, who is yet living, and more than eighty
years of age.
   Mr. and Mrs. Lowe have three children--May, Lola and Clarence.  After
his marriage, Mr. Lowe farmed for three years, and thereafter began
his present business--first at Brook, a village in Iroquois Township,
where he remained three years.
   Mr. Lowe has the only drug store at Foresman Station, where he sold
the first bill of goods in February, 1882; the post office is connected
with his present business.  He is an upright, fair-dealing man, and 
hopes thereby for a continuance and increase of patronage.
