Biography:

"Located in Pine Grove in 1828 as a merchant and buyer of lumber. He removed to Jamestown , Chautauqua Co NY in 1833. His first stock of goods were displayed in “Noah’s Ark” and Horace Jacobs was his managing clerk. The brick building erected by Plumb & Lowry on the northeast corner of Main and Third streets has already been spoken of. As soon as the building was completed Mr. Lowry occupied the north of the two stores. He made merchandizing secondary to lumbering and always, I think, had some one as partner and manager of the store. Jacobs, Richard F. Fenton, S. C. Crosby, Win. F. Wheeler and others wereone after the other his partners. In 1844 he was stabbed in front of his own house (the house now owned by Dr. Hall on the southeast corner of Lafayette and Third streets, when returning home from his store in the early evening. Jeremiah NEWMAN of Pine Grove (Warren Co PA) , the would-be murderer served a term of years in Auburn for the deed. Mr. Lowry died February 23, 1852."
