Born in 1884 and later active in Wisconsin publishing, Samuel E. Lowe wrote for children and young readers while also building a career in the book business. Sources available here connect him with Whitman Publishing and with the Samuel Lowe Company, a name that became familiar on many mid-century children's books.
His fiction ranged widely. Books attributed to him include In the Court of King Arthur, The Boy Knight, and Hazel Squirrel and Other Stories, showing an interest in both chivalric adventure and gentle animal storytelling. He also wrote under the pseudonym Helen Hart, a pen name linked to Camp Fire Girls books.
Although detailed biographical records are limited in the material I could confirm, the broad outline is clear: Lowe was part of the lively world of American children's publishing in the first half of the 20th century, contributing stories that were designed to entertain, reassure, and spark imagination in young readers.
