Death of Estimable Lady

The many friends and relatives of Mrs. J. B. Lowrey were deeply grieved to learn of her death, which occurred Monday night, after an illness of several weeks following an attack of influenza, which at her age weakened her so she could not regain strength enough to recover. Mrs. Lowrey has not been very strong for several years, but was full of energy and very cheerful, and glad to welcome her friends at all times. She was a member of the Baptist Church and a lovely Christian character. She was 71 years of age, widow of the late J. B. Lowrey, a brave soldier in the War Between the States. She was a loyal daughter of the South and remained true to its principles to the end.

She is survived by three sons, Messrs. Earl, Clyde and Sydney Lowrey, two daughters, Miss Della Lowrey and Mrs. Guy Lighon [sic Ligon], one brother, Mr. W. N. Thomas, and a sister, Mrs. Alice Lowrey of River Bend.

Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased Wednesday morning, Rev. R. F. Stuckey, pastor of the West Blocton Baptist Church, conducting the service, with prayers offered by Rev. Roy Hewlett, pastor of the M. E. Church, and Rev. Phifer of Birmingham.

The interment was made at Mt. Carmel Cemetery, a large number of relatives and friends following the remains to their last resting place. Profuse and lovely floral offerings bore silent testimony of the high esteem in which this good woman was held.
