• Notes

  From Ancestry.com family tree of Christina Lowry John was five years old when he came to America, and seven when he moved to Florence. When he was sixteen, he moved with his family to their farm in Iowa. After he married Hannah, they settled in Portsmouth, where he operated a brickyard for ten years. In 1882, he bought 100 acres in Boomer township, where he farmed until 1887. After his daughter started at Neola High School, he moved into Neolo and started another brickyard. All the bricks used in the new Catholic Church were made by John, which he made from clay from Mosquito Creek. In 1893, he moved back to the farm in Boomer Township. In 1901, he bought Grandma Mackland's place, and the family lived there until 1909. He then moved to Nebraska and encouraged all his children to move with him. After John fell in love with pictures of orange trees in Alabama, Glen, Joe, and Ralph accompanied him to Theodore, but Alice and Tom stayed in Nebraska. He later moved to the Ozarks, which was a middle point between all of his children. He was a Priest in the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints. He was buried in Independence, Missouri, but he was reburied in the Grange Cem., in Boomer, IA, after Hannah's death in 1932.
