Prominient Indian Minister Passes; Last Rites Today

Rev. Canady Lowry was Prominent in Religious and Educational Life of County for Many Years.

Funeral rites for Rev. Canady Lowry, 76, prominent Indian minister and citizien of Robeson, who died at Duke hospital early Saturday morning, were held at Hopewell church at 2 p.m. today. The services were in charge of Rev. G. D. Locklear of Pembroke and Rev. J. E. Sawyer of Sanford. Burial followed in the church cemetery.

The Rev. Lowery, long prominent in the religious and education life of the county, is survived by ten children--four sons and six daughters--and it was stated here today that all of them are well educated, and at some time each of them has been a teacher.

The sons are Rev. J. R. Lowery, well known minister of Pembroke, and M. L. Lowery, prominent teacher of the same place. Sterling Page Lowery also lives at Pembroke, while Calvin, another son, is a resident of Baltimore.

The daughters are: Mrs. Martha Lee Sanderson, who lives in Georgeia, Pearly Lee, Maria Losha, Vashti May and Mrs. Phoda Lowery and Mrs. Dora Dial, all of Pembroke.

The deceased is also survived by five brothers and four sisters. All of the brothers live at Pembroke, they being Revs. E., F. R., and D. F., these being well known Indian ministers, together with A. B. and W. B. Lowery, while the sisters are Mrs. Annabel Spaulding of Clarkton, Mrs. Deborah Woodell, who lives in Delaware, and Mrs. Nancy C. Revels and Mrs. Maria Oxendine, of Pembroke.
