Comrade Lowe was engaged in farming when the war began, and was 27 years old when he enrolled from Romney, W. Va., Dec. 29, 1861. He enlisted as a private in Co. H, 1st W. Va. V. I.

He took part in but one battle, Moorefield, where he received a gunshot wound in right hip, where the ball is still lodged; he was also taken prisoner at that battle but was left on field. He was taken to hospital at Parkersburg, W. Va., for treatment for wound; six weeks later he was transferred to Wheeling where he remained nine months. He did considerable guard and garrison duty and was honorably discharged Jan. 1, 1865, at Wheeling, W. Va.

I.; his first wife's brother Samuel also served in the late war; his father, Geo. Lowe, was a soldier in the war of 1812.
