ROSE MARIE LOWERY
Rose Marie, second daughter of B. Frank and Clara I. Lowery, was
born at Davenport, Nebraska, January 29, 1902, and took her departure
to the Spirit World on December 20, 1932 from the same house in which
she was born. She lived to be 30 years, 10 months, 21 days old.
Rose Marie confessed her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son
of God and was baptized into his kingdom by her father on June 14,
1914. From the day she entered her Master's service to the day of
her death she made the work of the Lord her chief concern. She
believed that not only did the Lord require special service of worship on
Lord's Days, but that He would be pleased only with one's best
endeavor in everyday life.
This conviction of heart led her to be a dutiful daughter, a loving
sister and a painstaking student. Her work in the Davenport High School,
from which she graduated as valedictorian exemplified this conviction.
Her college work was likewise characterized by the same kind of work
and she was elected honor student by the faculty. She graduated from
college, receiving the bachelor of arts degree, and having the ability
to write and converse freely in four languages.
After her graduation Rose Marie continued her study in art which
she had been doing at different times when her health did not per-
mit her to be in school. In the fall of 1929 she accepted the position
as head of the art department of Harding College, her alma mater.
She began work with great earnestness and displayed the same ability
as a teacher she did as a student.
During the three months she was able to continue her work, she
endeared herself not only to her pupils but also to the entire faculty
and student body in the school.
Although the work was too heavy for her, she kept it up without a
murmur until she completely collapsed. Her father was called and
brought her home on an invalid's cot. Careful nursing and skillful
medical care restored her sufficiently to permit her for three years to
bestow some of her best in love and devotion on all she met and
especially on those near her whom she loved. Her art work and other
attainments made her many personal and pen friends.
She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank Lowery;
four sisters, Mrs. Nellie Ruth Sanner, Frances Ruby Lowery, Mrs. Inez Lillian
Sanner, Clara Florence Lowery; one brother, Joseph Franklin Lowery; one
grandfather, J. S. Padgett, all of Davenport; one grandmother, Mrs.
Martha Lowery, Hansen, Idaho; two nephews, Robert and Harry
Sanner and two nieces, Doris and Helen Sanner and other relatives.
Her affliction, which covered a period of ten years, was born with
great patience and fortitude, and through it all she looked cheerfully
forward to a "better home" where perfect love and happiness reigned
supreme.
"She was jes' the quiet kind,
Whose naturs never vary."
"To those who knew her not,
no words can paint;
And those who knew her, know
all words are faint."
Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ on Wednesday,
December 21 with Homer E. Moore of Wichita, Kansas officiating. He
spoke words of comfort to the family using Rose Marie's favorite
lesson, Philippians 4:4-9, as a text.
A ladies trio, Miss Margaret Thornton, Mrs. Art Bohling and
Mrs. Mable Magee, sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus", "Some Day the
Silver Cord Will Break", "I Know Not", and "Face to Face."
Pallbearers were Wm. Fuhrer, Roy Hinds, Melvin Sien, Harry
Row, Ben Miner and Art Bohling.
Burial was made in the Davenport Cemetery in charge of Roy Scott.
