Born in Warrick County, Indiana, to Kentucky-born parents with roots in Virginia, the Carolinas, and colonial Maryland.
Mary's father, Simon Peter Lowe (1811-1861), served a term in the Indiana State Legislature. Her mother was Mrs. Laura Ann(Floyd-)Lowe (1815-1885).
Two of Mary's brothers, a maternal uncle, and a Kentucky-born brother-in-law served with distinction in Indiana regiments during the War of the Rebellion.
Her oldest brother survived Sherman's hardest campaigns in Georgia and was one of his line company's few veteran survivors at the war's end, having first declined a Captain's commission, the brother advanced through the ranks from Corporal to First Lieutenant.
(NB: Mary's thus-mentioned brother, First Lieutenant Jonathan S. Lowe,[1836-1893: See FindaGrave Memorial No. 68911844)]of the 53rd Indiana Infantry Regiment's Company I, is cited repeatedly in the book "To the Mountain of Fire and Beyond: The Fifty-Third Indiana Regiment From Corinth To Glory," by historian Garland A. Haas[1919-1999]of Spokane, Washington/Copyright@Guild Press of Indiana, Carmel, Indiana, 1997.)
In 1870, Miss Mary E. Lowe married Samuel Overton Cain (1847-1899) in Warrick County. By the 1890s the Cains were farming near New Lisbon in Stoddard County and "raising Cain"(their Children-the Cains.)
The 1900 US Census for Stoddard County, Missouri, listed Mary E.(Lowe-)Cain as a widow and a young grandmother. She never remarried, but lived until the age of 86.
Mrs. Cain passed away in Columbia (Boone County), Missouri, near the home of her daughter, Mrs. Laura (Cain-) Casey.
Mary shares a double stone cemetery monument in Robert Hill Cemetery with her departed husband, Samuel Cain (Samuel Overton Cain 1847-1899.)
