HAMILTON
A. LOWTHER, a farmer of Greenfield township and the owner of ninety
acres of land on which he lives, was born in this township about half a mile
from his present place of residents in a southerly direction. Feb. 4,
1861, was the day of his birth and Jackson and Susan (Tower) Lowther
were his parents. His paternal great-grandfather was a resident of New
York city and was a prize fighter by profession. He achieved quite a
reputation in his day for physical strength and prowess, and his name was
frequently that of the victor in boxing contests. He was also a man of
considerable wealth, which he one time put to the service of a friend, only
to find that his trust was misplaced, for the latter jumped his bond and
Mr. Lowther had to forfeit the sum of money he had
guaranteed. His son Edward came to his part of Ohio
from New York at an early day. He secured a grant of land from the
government and immediately set about clearing it and making it ready for
habitation. For lack of a better home he lived for many years in a log
cabin which he had himself erected. His son, Jackson Lowther,
the father of our subject, was born here and has passed all his life in this
country. His wife was also of Ohio nativity, Sandusky having been her
birthplace. Her cares as a faithful wife and mother were brought to an
end in 1904, and a husband and three children have since mourned her loss.
The latter are Hamilton A.; Hermie, the wife of
Elvin McCord, of Sherwood, Ohio; and Nora, the wife of
Henry White of this county. Mr. Lowther
still follows farming despite his seventy years and is a member of the
Universalist church.
This township has always
been the home of Hamilton A. Lowther, and to the schools
here does he owe the education he was able to acquire in the intervals
between the busy seasons on the farm, for he was reared at home and early
was given his tasks to perform about the house in the fields. He
follows diversified farming, which has brought him more than a mere living.
Of late years the hard work has lightened by the assistance of his sons, who
are promising young men and display an aptitude for farming.
On the 17th of December, 1889, was performed the ceremony that made
Hamilton A. Lowther and Miss Nellie Fewson man and
wife. Mrs. Lowther is a daughter of Michael
and Sarah (Daly) Fewson, well known citizens of Greenfield
township. Three children have been born of this union: James,
Harry and Jay, all of whom live at home. A
hard worker, a careful manager and thrifty farmer, Mr. Lowther
is one of those that raise the standard of Greenfield township as a great
farming community.
