ANGEVINE D. LOWELL.  In the course of a long, industrious and interesting life 
Angevine D. LOWELL, now living in retirement in his splendid new modern home 
in Sharon, Walworth county, has learned many valuable lessons and has been of 
great help to those with whom he has come into contact.  He has kept abreast 
of the times as much as possible, realizing at the outset that the wisdom of 
yesterday is often the folly of today and that "old occasions teach new 
duties, time makes ancient good uncouth, and that we must upward still and 
onward."  And no doubt much of his material success has been due to the fact 
that he has been an advocate of progress in all lines, material, civic and 
moral, and has labored to this end in his native locality.  He has thus been 
an interested spectator to the wonderful growth that has taken place in 
Walworth county for he has spent his life right here at home and has witnessed 
the far-reaching forests of pine, fir, tamarack and hemlock give way to as 
fine a farming community as the great Badger state can boast.  He represents 
one of our worthy pioneer families, the LOWELLs having established their 
permanent home here when it took courage and hardihood to stand the test.
 
Mr. LOWELL was born on June 9, 1849, in Sharon township, this county.  He is 
the son of Abram B. and Anna M. (SEEVER) LOWELL, who were born in Decatur, New 
York, where they grew up and married, and there they continued to reside until 
1844, when they came to Walworth county, Wisconsin, and settled in Sharon 
township, taking up eighty acres of government land.  They made a little 
clearing and erected their log cabin, and went to work wtih a will, and in due 
course of time they had the land improved and under cultivation and a 
comfortable home established, and here they spent the rest of their lives, the 
father dying on June 11, 1902, at an advanced age, having survived his wife 
some thirty-three years, her death having occurred on May 7, 1869.  They were 
the parents of eleven children.
 
Angevine D. LOWELL, of this review, grew to manhood on home farm, where he 
assisted with the general work during his boyhood.  He received his education 
in the public schools of his native district and at the Sharon Academy.  After 
the death of his father he came into possession of the old homestead.  This he 
has kept well tilled and well improved, so that it has retained its original 
fertility, and he has added to the original eighty, seventy-seven acres, 
making him now one of the choice farms of the community, consisting  of one 
hundred and fifty-seven acres, all in section 30, Sharon township.  He has 
devoted his life to general farming and stock raising and has met with a fair 
measure of success all along the line, so that, having laid by a competency, 
he has recently retired from the active duties of life, moving to the town of 
Sharon, where he had erected an attractive, commodious and modernly appointed 
home.
 
Politically, Mr. LOWELL is a Prohibitionist, but he has never been especially 
active in party affairs.  In religious matters he belongs to the Methodist 
Episcopal church.
 
Mr. LOWELL was united in marriage with Juvontia KINYON on January 29, 1873.  
She is the daughter of Joseph T. and Catherine (MERRILL) KINYON, a highly 
respected family of this county.  To Mr. and Mrs. LOWELL four children have 
been born, named as follows: Mrs. Leola E. CLEMENT, who lives in Austin, 
Maine; Lloyd S. lives in Sharon, this county; Marzo T. is a clerk in the 
employ of the Northwestern Railroad Company; Glenn F. lives in Sharon.  These 
children all received good educations in the local schools and are well 
situated in life.
