Delafield, WI: Feb. 9th: Conversing animatedly with his sister and niece, at the home of his brother, Robert Lowerre, last Friday afternoon, John William Lowerre of Boston, MA suddenly expired of heart failure. One week ago last Thursday Mr. Lowerre arrived from Boston to spend a month with his brother, Robert Lowerre and his sisters Mrs. Sanford Perkins and Miss Annie Lowerre. He was very jubilant over the fact that he had arrived home, as he called Delafield, the home of his boyhood days. Preceding the day of his demise, he was under the doctors care, but rallied and seemed to be himself again.
John William Lowerre was born in New York City March 24th, 1840, and came to Milwaukee in the fall of 1843. They moved to Delafield in 1844, and settled on a farm two miles south of the village. Two years later they moved to the village of Delafield where the parents resided until the time of their death. John remained with his parents until he was 18 years of age, when he went to Milwaukee in the employ of the Shepard Hardware company and later with the John Nazro Hardware Company, where he remained for a number of years. He then became a traveling sales man for the Jewett Spice Company of Milwaukee and remained with that firm until the Morey Mercantile firm of Denver was organized, of which he became a member and in which he still held his interest. He was a salesman for twenty-eight years when he retired from active duties on Jan. 1st, 1908 and went to Boston to spend the remaining years of his life with his daughter Mrs. M. C. G. Witte, his wife having died two years ago. Since retiring he planned to visit his old home once a year and was at his brothers home at the time of his death. Besides his daughter he is survived by two brothers and two sisters viz: George W. Lowerre of California; Robert W. Lowerre of Delafield, WI; Mrs. S. R. Perkins, Summit, WI, Miss Annie Lowerre Summit, WI. His remains were taken to Boston, MA for burial, accompanied by his niece, Miss Mayme Lowerre.
