from the Republican for March 5, 1914:
Rainstown - Our community was saddened by the death of Miss Grace Lowe on the evening of the 19th at her home north of here. Although her health was poor for some time, her last illness was of but a few hours' duration. A short service was conducted at the home, Saturday morning by Rev. Earl Moore, a former pupil of Miss Lowe. After paying a beautiful tribute to her memory, Rev. Moore read the following: "Elizabeth Grace, daughter of Nathan B. and Sarah (Coffin) Lowe, was born in Union Township, June 6, 1872 and died Feb. 19, 1914. Early sickness of the same nature as her final malady, and later, pressing home duties, kept her from regular attendance at school until she was twelve years of age. So well did she apply herself, however, that she was qualified to teach at the age of nineteen. She taught many terms in Union, Center, Middle and Guilford Townships. In 1894, she graduated from the Scientific course in the Central Normal College and, the following year, completed the Classic course at the same institution. Some years later, she began a course at Indiana University, looking forward to a master's degree in History but she did not complete the course. In the fall of 1897, Miss Lowe established the high school at Lizton and had charge of it for four years. Her last teaching was in the Friends school at Sugar Grove. She was a careful, conscientious and painstaking teacher as she was an obedient and industrious pupil. In her home life, she was a dutiful daughter, helpful sister. To the children of the family, she was an especial blessing, bestowing upon them her pure love in all its intensity. She was a member of the Society of Friends. Wherever she has been situated, she has taken part in Sabbath school and church work. Her aim has ever been to build up and maintain Christian character in herself and others. Her father, an older sister and brother preceded her to the other shore. She leaves to mourn their loss a mother, two brothers, Joseph and Jonathan, one sister, Alice, three nephews and one niece, also a number of uncles, aunts and cousins, living in North Carolina. Besides these, scores of friends and former pupils will miss the kindly interest and friendly sympathy of the life that has gone out from us. Strangely fitting to her departure is the poem which she often quoted:
Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as, moving, seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam.
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell
And after that, the dark.
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.
For though from out the bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far.
I hope to see my Pilot face to face,
When I have crossed the bar.
The body was taken to the New Mill Creek meeting house southwest of Danville where funeral services were held by the Friends with burial in the old Mill Creek Cemetery. Miss Lowe will be missed in the Sunday school and Christian endeavor at Rainstown where her services were most highly appreciated.
