HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. URBANA AND URBANA TOWNSHIP. BY J. W. OGDEN. Pg 324 “ King and Britton then opened school in the log house, elsewhere spoken of, where Grace Church now stands. John and Dan Helmick, W. H. Hamilton, the LOWE, Holden, Hovey and Patrick boys were occupying the lowest forms. The leading incident of this school was the " barring " out of the teacher, who, with an ax, cut down the doors and barricades within.

Joseph Lowe

Biographical Sketches, Salem Twp pg806
MARTIN M. DICKINSON, farmer and stock-dealer; P. O. Urbana; born in Logan Co., Ohio, Feb. 20, ; is a son of Thomas and Maria (LOWE) Dickinson; he is a native of Pennsylvania, and she of Virginia. They emigrated from Virginia, and located in Logan Co., in 1812, where they resided till their death. She died in October, 1870, and he in May, 1879. They were the parents of fourteen children : ten now survive-Eliza, Robert, Nelson, Margaret, Hannah, Martin, Duncan M., Joshua, Lewis and Samuel. As early pioneers of that county, they experienced the hardships of those days; he was engaged in the war of 1812, and drew a pension. About two or three years after locating, his log cabin was burnt, with everything they possessed, which in that day was a great calamity. To replace his household goods, he journeyed to Virginia and obtained a feather-bed and other goods, which he brought through on horseback, and then started anew in life again. These troubles " tried their souls;" but, being a man of energy and industry, he made progress and became possessed of a good home and a large estate before his death. Our subject, at 16 years of age, went to Zanesfield and learned the blacksmith trade, which business he followed with success for twenty years, accumulating several thousand dollars. Then he turned his attention to farming and stock-raising, following this business in Logan Co. about seven years, finally locating in Champaign Co., where he has continued the same business. In business Mr. Dickinson has been very successful, and now owns seven to eight hundred acres of land. He has built a fine residence on his farm on Sec. 8, in Salem Township, where he has fine improvements and a beautiful home ; has never held or sought office, but has given his attention strictly to business; being a man of energy and quick perceptions, he has been successful and accumulated a large competency. He was united in marriage Nov. 6, 1842, to Miss Margaret, daughter of Robert and Mary Rea, natives of Virginia. They have six children, five living Semantha, Louisa, Adelia, Rea and Cora.
(Another biography in the Centenniel History fo Champaign County pg103 gives additional information on Maria LOWE..” a native of Virginia, called to her final rest at the age of 75”)

Pg265 History of Champaign- The Mexican War
The war with Mexico made no great stir among the people of Champaign, though the progress of the victorious troops from Vera Cruz to Mexico was hailed with an enthusiasm similar to that over the country generally. There was a sentiment very widely prevalent that the war was unnecessary, and that the United States, strong in its resources, ought not to have attacked a sister Republic; but, being in, the patriotism of the county was for the country, right or wrong. The newspapers of the county do not return any names of the volunteer soldiery who were at Buena Vista, the heights of Monterey, or the storming of Chapultepec, but a green memory has kept in remembrance the names of Evan Jenkins, Oliver Jenkins. Frank Jenkins, Thomas LOWE, Isaac N. Pierce, George Hoover, Thomas Connerton, Thomas Wilson, Stephen Hagerbaugh, George Seibert, Finley Dunham, Robert Wallace, John Needler and Johnson K. Putman-all of whom were from Champaign, who volunteered in the Army of the Rio Grande
