The Honorable Henry Clay Lowell

Faribault Central Republican
March 25, 1863
Died, at Le Sueur on Thursday Morning, 19th Inst., of inflammation of the stomach, after an illness of only three days. Age 59 years and 7 months, Judge Lowell was a prominent member of the Bar of this county, and left here the Saturday previous, in his usual good health, to attend a term of court in Le Sueur. He was taken sick early on Monday morning, and died before his family, for whom a messenger was sent, could reach him. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of citizens, on Sunday afternoon, from his late residence. The entire community will deeply sympathized with the family in their sudden bereavement.

The History of Rice County 1882 Hon. Henry Clay Lowell - Deceased--As Ole of the most eminent and influential men of Rice county and the State in the time of his life, a history of Rice county would be incomplete without a sketch of his life. He was born in Thomaster, Lincoln county, Maine, on the 1st of September, 1803. He grew to manhood; studied law in East Machias, Washington county, and was admitted to practice in 1830. He then settled at Rockland, Knox county, and for twenty-five years enjoyed an honorable and extensive practice, not only in his native State, but throughout all New England. Wherever his practice called him, he was recognized as holding a high place in the very front rank of his profession. In 1855, he removed to the West, and in August of that year settled on 25 a farm about two miles south of Faribault, where he remained until the fall of 1862, when he removed to the city. In the spring following he went to Le Sueur to attend a term of District court, where he was suddenly siezed with inflammation of the bowels, and on the 19th of March, 1853, he died, being fifty years, five months, and nineteen days old. During the first three years of his residence in Rice county he did not practice, but the force of habit and long association could not be resisted, and in 1858, he returned to the bar, where for the following five years he was one of the most active and successful practitioners in the State, familiarly known in every judicial district, and everywhere regarded as one of the brightest ornaments of his profession. He fell-as he had often expressed a desire to fall-at his post. He was a fine speaker, a true man, and his fidelity to his client had almost passed into a proverb. The remains of the deceased were buried in the Episcopal cemetery, where a large and solemn gathering, from all parts of the State, united in paying the last tribute of respect to departed worth. Honest and upright in all his dealings, he leaves behind him a name that will be cherished by all who knew him.
