    This history, written for Lowden’s 125th birthday, is intended as a sequel to the Centennial booklet printed in 1957. The committee is indebted to the Sun-News office for the use of its files, to other publications, to the Lowden Historical Society and to scores of individuals who shared pictures and information. We regret that limitation of space did not permit us to use all of the offerings.

    Special gratitude goes to the following:

            Photographs: Ruth Boedeker, Don Meier and Wm. Stout

            School pupils who submitted poetry

            Sandra Schwarz for the cover design

            Steven Gottschalk for his weather research
