- Description
- This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for James W. Lowrey, born March 4, 1855 and died May 4, 1863 at the age of 8.
- Notes
- The Lang Cemetery is behind the barn on the east corner of Hwy No.2 and the Madden Road. It is no more than half an acre in size. There are a number of graves without stones. Most of the stones had foot stones that have been removed. This is a family cemetery but in the early days travellers going through have died from epidemics and other reasons and some are buried here with no markers.
James W. Lowrey was the son of Morris Lowrey and Catharine Lowrey (nee. Lampkin), the brother of Harry Dare Lowrey and Wilhelmine Lowrey, and Rebecca J.C.D. Lowrey, and was the maternal grandson of Edward Lampkin and Sydney B. Lampkin (nee. Langs). - Inscriptions
