On Saturday, March 27th, Major L.J. Lowe, a gentleman well known in Tennessee, died at the age of 83 years. The deceased was the father of Mr. John D. Lowe, of this place, who reached Cookeville in time to attend the funeral.

When quite a young man Maj. Lowe was licensed to practice law, following the profession until the beginning of the war of the rebellion, at which time he entered the Confederate army as a private, but before hostilities ceased he was promoted to the rank of Major. He was a gallant soldier and, as a civilian, a fine old gentleman. When the war closed he returned to Gainesboro, Tenn., where he spent the greater portion of his life, and became a teacher, and so proficient was he in this line of vocation, he was known throughout the country as a great educator.

The News is in sympathy with the surviving children, his Companion having died two or three years ago.
