Mrs. Lowry was born on the eighth line of Ramsay township, and was educated at SS 10 at Bennie's Corners and Almonte High School. She spent all her life in Ramsay area and taught at several local schools before marrying. Mrs. Lowry worked for the United Farm Women of Ontario while bringing up a family and was curator for the Ramsay Women's Institute and a charter member of the North Lanark Historical Society. She spearheaded a move to erect a plaque to the inventor of basketball, James Naismith at Bennie's Corners. She recently published "Lanark Reflections" in which she edited a collection of Lanark county poetry. She wrote this poem about a friend in 1914; We know her by her gentle air Her hair of queenly grace Her bright dark eyes and curly hair And pleasant smiling face. Her rippling laughter clear and shrill That now and then may yet be heard That echoes softly from yonder hill Like the lilting song of a sweet voiced bird. But now we hear she is going to leave Yes Elva's going away It matters little how we grieve We cannot make her stay. She was the daughter of the late William Gardner and Isabella McInnis, and wife of David Hollie Lowry, and mother of William of Toronto, Gordon Of Ottawa, Robert (Bert), Donald, James and David, all of RR 3 Almonte. She is survived by her sisters Ethel Bellamy of Brockville, and Dorothy Delaurier, of RR 1 Almonte and 20 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her brothers Stanley, Earl, Roy and Lorne. Service was held at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Spring interment at the Auld Kirk cemetery, Almonte. Funeral arrangements were handled by the Alan R Barker Funeral Home, Carleton Place.
