Notes for Andrew D. LOWRY
[nancybrown040600.FTW]
Letter from Basil Lowrey to John Washington Lowrey (copy in my
possession), dated May 12, 1866 Basil speaks of Andrew's death:
"The report in regard to Brother Andrew is true; the jay hawkers last
April was two years ago (1865) took him out of his house in the night
pretending they was taking him to the yankees' headquarters and carried
him off and kept him a day and night (I believe) and then shot him after
giving him notice what they were going to do. They said they notified
him so that he might have time to prepare. He told them he was prepared
to die and asked them to tell his wife and children to meet him in
heaven. After killing him they dragged him off and threw him into a lake
of water and a citizen went and got him out, carried him to his house and
sent for his wife. She came and had his likeness taken and had him
buried. His family moved to Texas last fall (1865).
