Percy Lowell, an energetic young farmer of section 7, Sumner Township was born Feb. 3, 1896, and was reared on his present place by his foster parents, Eugene Silas and Amelia (Gorman) Lowell, the pioneers. He attended the schools of the neighborhood, thoroughly learned farming, and gradually took over the responsibility of the home place which he now operates. He has continued the improvements, he has a good farm, and is carrying on general farming and agriculture. His herd is of good Holstein strain. Mr. Lowell is well liked in the community, has already got a good start in life, and is one of the leaders among the younger set in the township. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
