    Basic genealogy info :
    LOWE, PETER PERLEE, lawyer, born June 9th, 1801, in Warren county, Ohio, a part of the Northwest Territory, in a section of the country which was a wilderness at that early day. ... He prosecuted a vast number of criminals with unvarying success and benefit to the State. Notable among these was the case of the murderer of Charles R. Green, clerk of the court. Although absorbed in the duties and responsibilities of a heavy and always increasing practice, Mr. Lowe was prominent and active in all public measures designed to benefit the city ; his record as a public-spirited citizen dating particularly between the years 1830 and 1860. To him and Joseph Barnett, the city was indebted for its admirable system of turnpikes, which have made Dayton noted far and wide for beautiful avenues and streets. In 1849, the management of the Dayton and Western Railroad, which was almost hopelessly involved, called him to the presidency of that road. He accepted the position, and with rare business tact and ability, took the lead in negotiations and measures which brought needed relief, and placed the road on a substantial footing. Mr. Lowe was no less prominent in politics, not as an office-seeker, but as a good citizen and patriot. He was elected to the legislature in 1837, over Robert C. Schenck, and in that body served with conspicuous ability as chairman of the judiciary committee during his term of office; was also delegate to State and National conventions, and candidate for governor in the convention which nominated Reuben Wood for that ofi‘ice. Originally a whig, he left that party at the time it was discovered by the Senate committee, of which Mr. Tyler was chairman, that the United States bank had loaned to members of Congress large amounts of'money, with and without collateral security.
