He served in Co. D, 39 Georgia Infantry known as the "Dade County Invincibles"
Lowe furnished these details of his service. He "…was transferred to Vicksburg in the spring of 1863 to assist in the defense of that city, where I was taken prisoner on July 4, 1863. Was paroled and went home, returning to the army when exchanged. Was promoted to corporal in 1863 during the Siege of Vicksburg. Was in the battles of Tazewell, Richmond, Baker's Creek, siege of Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge and the Georgia campaign to Atlanta, and then the campaign under Hood, back to Tennessee at Spring Hill, Franklin, and Nashville, and then to Greensboro, N. C. where we surrendered."
Lowe moved to the White's Chapel area in 1869. He and a neighbor, John Bailey, teamed up and had a cotton gin on what is now North White's Chapel Road. In 1895, Lowe was living in present-day Southlake along the north side of FM 1709 about one-quarter mile east of its intersection with Byron Nelson Parkway. He may also have lived for a time south of present-day FM 1709 along White's Chapel Road.
