FRANCIS LOWE
1845 – 1903
DIED 31-5-03 Palmerston North
was born 24th. May, 1845, at Somercotes, Lincolnshire, England. His parents, with their family of four sons and one daughter, emigrated to Tasmania. In 1864 Frank, Thomas and Frederick, came to New Zealand, while John and Sarah remained in Tasmania.
PHOEBE EMILY PHILLIPS
1845 – 1927
DIED 15-7-27 HASTINGS
BURIED WITH SON ARTHUR
PLOT NO. 3739374C
was born on 25th. October, 1845, in London. Her family intended to emigrate to New Zealand and she came first with friends, landing at Lyttleton [Lyttelton] in 1833, when she was 18 years of age. Her family afterwards abandoned the idea of emigration, and she never saw them again. She became a nursery governess to the Fitzgerald family, and later to the Rhodes family, in Christchurch.
On 10th March, 1868, she married Francis Lowe in the Durham St. Methodist Church, Christchurch.
They lived about 3 years in Christchurch, and then took up land at Mt. Hutt, near the Rakaia Gorge, where they lived for nine years. They later lived in Tinwald. In 1897 the family came to the North Island and set up a flax mill at Orua Bridge, where they remained for a year. In 1898 they moved to Waipawa, where Frank Lowe worked on the new railway.
In 1899 they came to Hastings, and drew a block of land in the Mahora North Settlement Ballot. ‘Lowecroft’ was built that year, and Mr. & Mrs. Lowe both lived there for the rest of their lives. Francis Lowe died at Lowecroft in his 57th year, in 1903.
His wife died at the age of 81 years, in 1927. She had then 12 children, and 73 grandchildren.
