Facts and Events
Except for a short time spent in Holland, Mich. he lived on a f arm given to him by his father Holden at the intersection of what is now known as Bauer Road and 28th St. in Georgetown Township. John was active in the Grange and was a charter member of the Bauer Community Band and was a member of this band until it was discontinued many years later. He and his brother William attended rehearsals regularly, although it meant driving a horse 2 1/2 miles to Bauer. They were instrumental in encouraging a number of others to join the band, among them Roy and Floyd, nephews and sons of their brother Otis. John also loved to sing and often sang in the church choir. His wife Clara, the last living second-generation descendant of the Holden Lowing family, died February 26, 1971. References
