Our Eshelman family records (from the Eshelman family history book published by John and Esther Eshelman in 1976) have that David M. Lowe and Sarah Catherine Eshelman were married in 1873. That document has record of one son for them - Everett Lowe born 1895 and died January 29, 1971 at age 86 in Princeton, Illinois.
The following is the obituary for David Mahan Lowe from the Bureau County Republic May 29, 1913. {Note: the title of the obit spells David's middle name "Mahan" and in the obit it is spelled "Mahon"}:
"David Mahon Lowe was born July 24, 1850 in the town of Fairfield, Adams County, Pennsylvania, his parents being John Andrew and Hester McLaughlin Lowe.
In his native town Mr. Lowe spent his boyhood days, receiving a good practical education in the public schools of that place. His father was a brickmaker by trade and as the boy grew into manhood he also learned this occupation working in the brick plant at Fairfield.
It was in this little city that he became acquainted with Miss Sarah Eshelman, to whom he was married in 1873. Ten years later the young couple moved to Sheffield, Ill., where Mr. Lowe found employment at his trade as brickmaker, in the first brick plant ever operated in this locality. This old enterprise was owned by William Merritt and James Collins and was located southwest of Sheffield, near what is now George Humphreys' present residence.
After a number of years spent at this kind of work Mr. Lowe entered the employ of A. W. Boyden and remained with him until 1908, at which time he moved to South Dakota, settling upon a government tract of land.
In 1911 he proved up on his claim and returned to Sheffield to make his home in his own house in the south part of town.
For the last few years, Mr. Lowe's health gradually failed until after a severe illness of a few weeks he passed to his final rest on Saturday morning, May 10, 1913.
Mr. Lowe leaves a wife, five sons, Robert and Claude of Sheffield, Everett of Princeton, John of Kewanee, Charles D. of San Jacinto, Cal.; two daughters, Charlotte, of Sheffield, and Mrs. William Oberg, of Princeton; four sisters, Mrs. Charles Hoffman and Mrs. Peter Harbaugh, of Fairfield, Pa., Mrs. John Moonshour of Thurment, Md., and Mrs. David Duble of Liberty, Pa. One brother, William H. Lowe, of Fairfield, Pa., and one child, Clyde James, preceded him.
The funeral was held at the home in Sheffield Monday, May 12, Rev. Parsons officiating. The internment was in the Sheffield cemetery."
