May 12.  The poet Amy Lawrence Lowell died young of a cerebral hemorrhage. She had been born in 1874 to our parishioners Augustus Lowell (1830-1900) and Katherine Bigelow Lawrence (1832-95), daughter of daughter of Abbott Lawrence (1792-1835).  Her partner Ada Dwyer Russell was the subject of many of her romantic poems.  A volume of her complete works was published in 1955.

Many members of the Lawrence and Lowell families attended Emmanuel. They are buried in the Lowell plot (#3401) on Bellwort Path in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.  Among Amy’s six siblings were Elizabeth Lowell Putnam (1862-1935); astronomer Percival Lowell (1855-1916); and President of Harvard College, Abbott Lawrence Lowell (1856-1943).
