Four of the five daughters and two of the three sons of Jesse and Minnie Lowe, plus three spouses, were among those who gathered this past weekend in Houston for fellowship and food. Also participating were nine members of the next generation, two spouses, and four grandchildren. Some arrived as early as Thursday and most were there for supper Friday night and everyone took part Saturday, July 16, which would have been Jesse Lowe's 130th birthday.
This was the first time in a number of years that this many of the sons and daughters were together, although they have been represented at some birthdays and weddings.
The regular Lowe reunion is planned for Saturday, August 6, at Lakeview Methodist Church in Minden. Not many of this group will be able to attend. This reunion was initiated more than 20 years ago through the primary efforts of Jen Lowe. Terral Lowe took responsibility to keep it going for several years, and Peggy Cassells Merritt has handled that job in recent times. Since most of those at the gathering this past weekend live far away, not many of us will be able to attend the reunion, although I expect to be there.
