"McDONALD LOWRY'S LAST RIDE
His Team Runs Away with Him, and He is Picked up by the Roadside in Very Bad Shape- A Narrow Escape From Death
Last Saturday evening was perhaps the last time our citizens will be treated to the familiar spectacle of McDonald Lowry driving rapidly about town in his buggy with one leg nonchalantly laid across the knee of the other and the lines held high in one hand circus rider fashion. This was his favorite way of showing his exhilaration of spirits when in town, and pedestrians have often gazed after him in wonder, after scrambling out of his way to avoid being run over, and have regarded him as a child of luck that he has not met with some serious mishap as he has thus circled about at random through the streets.
Saturday evening he was late getting started toward home, and it was about 8 o'clock when the residents of Main Street were called to their gates by the furious clatter of a runaway going south. The dashing driver's usual cry of "Hup! Hup!" had been changed to the more earnest one of "Whoa! Whoa!" and it was evident that Mac was doing his bet to control his horses, which were dashing homeward at such furious speed that the sparks flew from their hoofs as they clattered past in the darkness.
They were soon lost to sight and almost to hearing, but when they crossed the railroad track south of town the concussion was plainly heard, and a number of excited citizens started out with lanterns, fully expecting to find the vehicle wrecked at the at point. Strangely enough, however it had crossed the track safely, and the searching parties were not rewarded until they came to the turn of the road west, some distance below Wm. Rothrock's place. There they found Mac stretched bleeding and unconscious in a fence corner, the buggy totally demolished near by and the horses still farther on in scarcely a less pitiable plight than their owner. The injured man was taken at once to his home a mile distant or more, and Dr. Cowger was soon on the scene. He found a terrible scalp wound seven inches long down the back of his head, besides several cuts and bruises on his face and forehead. No injuries could be discovered on his body. His wounds were dressed and he was left to his chances, which the doctor pronounced about equal between life and death. He remained unconscious or delirious during Sunday but on Monday he began to revive and asked for something to eat. At this writing his chances of recovery are considered good, though he is by no means out of danger."
obit from the Monticello Herald, 6 Dec 1888
"MacDonald Lowry died Monday evening from the injuries received in the runaway accident described in our last issue. Erysipelas developed from the wound on his head, but Dr. Robinson, who with Dr. McCann, had charge of the case after Dr. Cowger took sick, states that this was under control and that his death resulted from the original injury. His funeral took place yesterday (Wed.) afternoon and was attended by a large number of friends and relatives, including two brothers from Pulaski county."
