May 12.  The poet Amy Lawrence Lowell died young of a cerebral hemorrhage. She had been born in 1874 to our parishioners Katherine Bigelow Lawrence (1832-95) and Augustus Lowell (1830-1900). Many members of the Lawrence and Lowell families attended Emmanuel.  Her partner Ada Dwyer Russell was the subject of many of her romantic poems.  A volume of her complete works was published in 1955.  She is buried in the Lowell plot (#3401) on Bellwort Path in Mt.
