This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: Coates, LOWTHER, Oppenheimer, Iglehart, Fairbanks RICHARD L. LOWTHER is a member of the Indianapolis bar, prominent over the state for his able work in conducting Republican campaigns, and his time and abilities are now concentrated on his duties as receiver for the J. F. Wilds Bank at Indianapolis. Mr. Lowther, whose office is in the Continental Bank Building, was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in 1883. His parents, William and Hannah Mary (Coates) Lowther, were born in Newcastle, England, were married there and in 1875 came to the United States and located at Pittsburgh. His father for many years was in business as a general contractor. He died in 1919 and his wife in 1900. Richard L.

He has been interested in politics since reaching his majority, and has shown an unusual capacity for handling the work of political campaigns. He is a Republican.
