  Author: Biographical Review
  
  Harvey A. LOWRY was educated in the city schools of the Seventh Ward and in 
  Curry University. He began to work for his living as an employee of the Pan 
  Handle Railroad, remaining with the company for twelve years and finally being 
  engineer. In 1890 he resigned in order to accept the position of Deputy in the 
  Sheriff's office, being appointed by William H. McLeary on the Allegheny 
  District. After the expiration of his term he was promoted by Sheriff Richards
  to the Pittsburgh City District, the most important one in the county, and in 
  which he served until he became Sheriff of the county. To the latter office he 
  was elected in November, 1896. It is an honorable distinction that he is the 
  youngest man that has ever filled the office, which is the highest and most 
  remunerative in the county. Previous to this, he was Councilman for his Ward 
  for four terms, and served on the Committee on Public Safety, Corporations and 
  Surveys. He was one of the two candidates who in 1896 were elected to the 
  Council without opposition, having the support of the Municipal League. He is 
  now favorably mentioned as the successor of Mr. Von Bonhorst in the office of 
  County Recorder.
  
  On September 2, 1880, Mr. lowry was united in marriage with Miss Clara B. 
  White, daughted of Willian J. White, an ex-chief of the Pittsburgh Fire 
  Department. Mr. and Mrs. Lowry have five children--Grace K, Edith W, Olive, 
  Lois and Harvey Addison. Edith W. is now a student at the high school. Harvey 
  Addison Lowry, the youngest child, is six years old. Mr. Lowry is an active 
  member of both the Young Men's Republican Tariff Club and the Americus Club. 
  He belongs to the K. of P. Knights of Golden Eagle, The American Mechanics, 
  the Knights of Krassan and the Order of the Elks. Mrs. Lowry is a member of 
  the Fifth United Presbyterian Church which her husband also attends and 
  supports. The family residence is 5487 Hays Street, East End.
  
   
  
  Additional Comments:
  I believe Clara's middle name is "Duncan" and not "B" as that is the way it is 
  shown in our records.
