Joseph Lowe

1845 births | 1899 deaths | people from illinois


Joseph Lowe (1845-1899), aka "Rowdy Joe" Lowe, was a gambler and saloon keeper and owner of the Old West. Although sometimes described as a gunfighter, he did not historically fit into that category.

Originally from Illinois, Lowe and his wife Katherine, aka "Rowdy Kate", moved to Kansas following the Civil War. They opened a saloon in Wichita, Kansas which at first was extremely profitable. On October 27th, 1873, Lowe shot and killed fellow saloon owner Edward Beard after Beard stormed into his saloon shooting at one of Lowe's "girls". Beard hit another girl with one shot, and a patron with another before Lowe shot him. This gave Lowe somewhat of a reputation.
