Mountain Messenger � 10/02/1886, Pg. 3 

Death of Jas. Lowell � Word was received last Tuesday that J. M. Lowell, 
long a resident of Gibsonville, but latterly of Quincy, Plumas Co., was 
dead. At this writing we are without particulars of his death any more 
than that he was riding on the timber wagon of the North American mine 
between La Porte and Gibsonville, the wagon ran off a bridge near 
Squires� saw mill, throwing Mr. Lowell on a pile of rocks, fracturing his 
hip bone and injuring him internally, from the effects of which he died 
within a few days. Mr. Lowell was one of the members of the Bald Mountain
Co., of Forest City, and an owner in mines at Alleghany and Gibsonville. 
He was a gentleman very much respected by all who knew him. He leaves a 
wife and several children, the eldest being the wife of Judge Clough. A 
few days before his death he had his life insured for $10,000, it is said.
