Report on Mr. Low. 



Mr. Charles F. Low, who was favorably and widely known 

 among scientists for his researches in the departments of 

 American historj^ archaeology and ethnolog}-, died at his 

 home in Madisonville, Ohio, February 26, 1891, after a short 

 illness of acute pneumonia, at the age of fift3--three. 



Mr. Low was born at Providence, R. L, April 22, 1837, and 

 often referred to his early life as a boy along the sea coast. 

 In 1856 he came west to Athens, Ohio, and finally located at 

 Chillicothe during the same year, where he became connected 

 with the M. & C, now B. & O. S. W. R. R. Co., with which 

 company he remained during all its various changes of name 

 and ownership, up to the time of his last illness — a con- 

 tinuous period of thirty-four years' service, during which 

 time he rose from a clerk in the office to the position of Audi- 

 tor, and finally Secretary-in-Chief. In 1858 he married Mi.ss 

 Mary Augusta McClintick, of Chillicothe, who, with eight 

 children, five sons and three daughters, survives him. 



Deceased was a scholarly man, well read in the subjects 

 above mentioned, and especially noted for his effective labors, 

 both in the field and with the pen, in connection with the de- 

 velopment and exploration of the " Madisonville Prehistoric 

 Cemetery," situated on the Ferris farm, near the town men- 

 tioned. The publications of that work, mainly the product 

 of his pen, are to be found in the Journal of this Society for 

 1880. Mr. Low became a member of this Society in 1878,
