from the Republican for Oct. 21, 1965:
Mrs. Jessie Mabel Lowe, widow of the late Jonathan Lowe of Lizton, died October 12 (1965) in the Hendricks County Hospital.
A native of Hendricks County, she was born Oct. 4, 1884 the daughter of the late William H. and Anna Eliza Walter.
She received her education in the Pittsboro public school and was a member of the Lizton Methodist Church and Home Economics Club.
Services were Friday from the Lizton Methodist Church with the Rev. Guy Tremaine and Rev. Robert Hice officiating. Burial was in the Lizton K. of P. Cemetery. Arrangements were by the Jones & Matthews Mortuary in Brownsburg.
Survivors include four sons, J. Grant Lowe, Lizton; Joel W. Lowe, Cooperville, Mich.; J. Paul Lowe, Louisville, Ky., and Robert W. Lowe, South Bend.
The following poem tribute was written by Jessie's brother-in-law, Joseph Lowe, and read at her funeral:
Remembrances of Mother
We boys had as good a Mother as any boys ever had.
She knew how to correct us if we were very bad.
Her oldest son went through a lot of grief before he found relief.
Her second son when small wanted to learn how silo filling was done,
He went to see and over him a tractor was run.
Finally a little girl came along who was frail and sickly,
Her mother's faith was so strong she gave her to the Savior to take along.
Her four boys grew up and went into homes of their own,
And to these homes nine children came to live,
Their names I will not try to give,
But you may say this out loud, of her grandchildren she was very proud.
She lived for 57 years with her companion and when he was taken away from his home,
She lived nine long months alone.
No one will ever know except by experience, having been shown,
What it means to give up a life's companion and go on alone.
Her presence in the community, church and Sunday School will be sadly missed,
And though she is dead and gone her influence for good will go on and on and on.
