JACOB LOWMAN DEAD
One of the Oldest and Wealthiest Farmers of the Valley
The Telegram announces the death of Jacob Lowman, at 5 o’clock Thursday afternoon, April 2, 1891, at his home in Lowmanville.  For two years or more Mr. Lowman has been an intense sufferer from rheumatism, which affliction he has borne with great fortitude, being unwilling to the very last to relinquish in the smallest degree his active connection with the many extensive business enterprises which in more active years he had created.  He was born December 5, 1817, and was therefore in his seventy-fourth year.  His father, Jacob Lowman, was one of the first settlers of this valley coming here as early as 1738, and form the first took active and prominent part in the development of this region.  His youngest son, Jacob Lowman, whose death is just announced, inherited all the capacities and abilities of his father, as well as part of the homestead where he was born, and began very early in life to accumulate a fortune which has for many years made him the largest landed proprietor in the county of Chemung.  AS a framer Jacob Lowman has been the leader in the industry in this region for more than a generation.  Possessed of over 4,000 cultivated acres in this county, nearly all of which he has purchased with the profits of his farms, he has demonstrated year in and year out the conscientious and systematic farming can be made large profits in all kinds of seasons.  He has also conducted large lumbering operations in this valley, and as a miller was recognized as a pioneer, being the solo owner of several extensive grist mills in this county.  Mr. Lowman was also one of the first men in this region interested in the tobacco industry and to his ability, care and enterprise is due in no small degree no only the raising of tobacco in the valley of the Chemung, but also the beginning of the trade in the article which has since grown to such great proportions in this city.  Together with the late John Brand he established the first tobacco warehouse in Elmira and for a long time one of its principal owners.  He was also interested in the creamery business operating a large and well managed cheese and butter factory in Lowmanville.  His large wealth and long and active life had led him into many enterprises outside of farming, and therefore he has been largely identified with the business interests of this city.  Until within a very few years, he was one of the most familiar figures on our streets, known and respected by all our business men.  In politics, Mr. Lowman was a staunch Republican and was always active in town and county affairs.  Yet he was one of the few men of wealth and prominence who could never be inducted to hold a public office.  Always interested in seeing that none but good men held office, he was not a hide-bound partisan, and, though always loyal to the principles of his party, he often lent his aid to the election of its opponents when, in his judgment, the public welfare demanded it.  This freedom and honest independence in politi…  made him hosts of friends outside of the party lines, while he never lost the respect and confidences of the party leaders. Jacob Lowman was never married.  His only brother, the late George Lowman and his three sisters, Mrs. Laurinda McDowell, Mrs. Cynthia Everitt and Mrs. Esther Brown--have long since preceded him in death.  His surviving nephews and nieces, who are his nearest relatives, are now all people of advanced years, among whom may be mentioned William, John G. and Lyman Lowman, sons George Lowman, deceased; J. Lowman, Robert  M. and McKean McDowell, sons of the late Judge John G. McDowell Samuel and Jacob Lowman Everitt, and three sisters, Mrs. John G. Copley, Mrs. Esther Jenkins and Mrs. Van Dyne, of Troy, Pa., children of Dr Hovey Everitt, deceased; Jacob Lowman Brown of Jan Francisco, Cal. Jacob Lowman was a man of large heart and generous impulses, a faithful friend and an honest man.  His death will be mourned by a large circle of acquaintances and friend, to many of whom he has lent the aid and assistance of his wealth and influence.  The funeral of Mr. Lowman will take place at his late residence, in Lowmanville, at 2 o’clock this afternoon.  The remains will be interred in the old family burying ground, now Riverside cemetery, between Lowmanville and Chemung.  A special train will leave this city at 1 o’clock p. m., over the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western road, to accommodate the many friends who desire to attend the funeral, returning immediately after the services.
