LOWELL, CHARLES RUSSELL (1835-1864) , American soldier, was born on the 2nd of January 1835 in Boston, Massachusetts. His mother, Anna Cabot Jackson
Lowell
  (1819-1874), a daughter of Patrick Tracy Jackson, married Charles Russell
Lowell
 , a brother of James Russell Lowell; she wrote verse and books on education. Her son graduated at Harvard in 1854, worked in an iron mill in Trenton, New
Jersey
 , for a few months in 1855, spent two years abroad, and in 1858-186o was local treasurer of the Burlington & Missouri river railroad. In 186o he took charge of the
Mount
  Savage Iron Works, in Cumberland,

 . He entered the Union army in June 1861 (commission May 14) as captain of the 3rd (afterwards 6th) U.S. cavalry; on the 15th of April 1863 he became colonel of the 2nd Massachusetts cavalry; he was wounded fatally at
Cedar
  Creek on the 19th of October 1864, when he was promoted brigadier-general of U.S. Volunteers, and died on the next day at Middle-town, Va. Lowell married in October 1863, Josephine Shaw (1843-1905), a sister of Colonel R. G. Shaw. Her home when she was married was on Staten Island, and she became deeply interested in the social problems of New
York
  City. She was a member of the State Charities Aid Society, and from 1877 to 1889 was a member of the New
York
  State Board of Charities, being the first woman appointed to that board. She founded the Charity Organization Society of New York City in 1882, and wrote Public Relief and Private Charity (1884) and Industrial Arbitration and Conciliation (1893).
