Pedigree Link

BASIC FACTS

Arthur Edward Lowrie was born on 1 December 1894 in Traverse City, Grand Traverse Co., Michigan.¹ He and Jessica Eva "Joni" Aney were married after 1930 in Michigan.² He died in 1942, at age ~48.¹

Arthur Edward Lowrie had reference number 34699. He was a Hotel clerk - Park American Hotel (1917); hotel clerk - hotel (1920); manager - oil company (1930); broker-president - brokerage incorporated (1940); employed by Industrial Representatives Inc.

Physical disability (reported on his World War I Draft Registration Card.)⁸ On his World War I Draft Registration Card, Arthur said he was born 1 Dec 1895. He also said he had a physical disability.
Sometime before 1917, Arthur married Jessie Geraldine "Jet" Ashley. Arthur and Jessie had two children. He is shown still living with Jessie in the 1930 Census.
Ruth Ann Ihm and several others say that Arthur died in 1942. I have not been able to confirm this but it should be noted that he filled out his World War II Draft Registration Card in 1942, so he would have had to die sometime after filling out the card.
