Rev. David Walker Lowe

Near this place, Rev. David Walker Lowe built a home for his wife Jane Dorsey not long after 1825. He had been a Methodist circuit rider in the S. C. conference and later in the Ga. conference. Born July 22, 1794, in Warren Co., Ga., he was an organizer and charter member of Providence Methodist Church, built on the south side of the Lumpkin-Florence Road. He donated the land on which the first church and schoolhouse were built. That land now lies between two of the canyons. The present Methodist church was built around 1859. Rev. Lowe died Sept. 23, 1843, and he and his wife are buried in the Lowe Cemetery near the edge of the canyon.
