He attended Kings Mountain Military Academy and, then, the Medical and Pharmaceutical College in Charleston, South Carolina.

Prior to the Lowry's move to Tampa, Sumter had decided to leave the pharmacy business and embark on a career as an insurance agent thorugh the help of his friend, G. Loper Bailey who he had met in Palatka. Sumter frequently traveled as an insurance agent, but reguarly corresponded with his wife.

Willie founded or was active in numerous civic and social activities and, participated in many state and national issues such as the women's suffrage movement, Tampa's Woman's Club, and Tampa's Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). In 1900 she wrote a letter to Andrew Carnegie and secured $50,000 to establish a local public library.","Willie Lowry was deeply interested in the welfare of young people.

The final two boxes, comprised of the Personal Business Papers, was only partially processed and remained in that state until February 2002 when it was processed and the finding aid updated. In 2003 a NHRPC grant was awarded to the Special Collections Department to improve access to the civil rights manuscripts housed in the department. In August of 2003 a processing plan was developed stipulating that materials be re-housed according to archival standards. To improve access, all folders were labeled and all folders and boxes were re-numbered. Work was completed in November, 2003.","Staff members of the Special Collections Department processed the majority of this collection in August 1976.  The final two Boxes, comprised of the Personal Business Papers, was only partially processed and remained in that state until February 2002 when it was processed and the finding aid updated.  In 2003 an NHRPC grant was awarded to the Special Collection Department to improve access to the civil rights manuscripts housed in the department.  In August of 2003 a processing plan was developed stipulating that materials be re-housed according to archival standards.  To improve access, all folders were labeled and all folders and Boxes were re-numbered.  Work was completed in November 2003.","The papers of Judge W.
