Hi list! My roots go back a long time in this part of Missouri. My ggrandfather Jesse A. Lowe died in Sheldon, Vernon County, Missouri in 1917. His obituary stated that he was a member of the famous Nevada Hook and Ladder Company. Does anyone have any information about the company? I'm also trying to find anything about his father Jesse A. Lowe Sr. He married Virginia C. Morris in Vernon County in 1858 and disappears from here. His brother, William Manson Lowe lived in the Vernon County, Clear Creek and Center Township along with his family and his mother Margaret Dudgeon Lowe from about 1858 too. Margaret died in Vernon County about 1871. If anyone has any information regarding any of the above I'd be truly greatful. Thank you!
