George W. Lowe (1847 - ?) was a minister and served as a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives. He represented Monroe County, Arkansas and served in the 1889 and 1891 sessions.[1][2]
Lowe was born in Hardeman County, Tennessee and was a servant until he was 15. In 1863 he became a soldier as chief muscian and was discharged in 1866 when he returned home to Hardeman County.[3]
He served as a minister in Holly Grove, Arkansas and was involved in emigration efforts in 1892.[4] Emigration was seen as a way to escape discrimination.[5]
