There was another journalist in the family. William and Mary Ann's daughter Maria Leonard, born 18 Jun 1852 at Tumut and named for an aunt, was 25 when she wed (John) Stanley LOWE by the rites of the Church of Scotland at Chillingly, Wagga Wagga on 07 Dec 1877. At some stage Stanley was Editor of the Wagga Daily Advertiser. Maria was described as a lady and Stanley, two years her junior as a gentleman; usual residence for both was Wagga. Her sister Alice and John Williamson (who wed Cecelia six months later) were the witnesses.
In her later years Maria lived in Grafton, probably with Henrietta. Maria's health had not been good and Maria wanted to see family members again. The two sisters began an extensive tour visiting relatives in Sydney, Tasmania and Melbourne, then had a fortnight in Gundagai prior to returning home to Grafton. Sadly though, Maria died from bronchial asthma, chronic nephritis and heart failure on 25 Api 1914 at St Kilda Private Hospital in Sydney and was buried in the Grafton Cemetery on 30 April. Maria and Stanley did not have any children; her nephew Ernest Elworthy of Grafton provided the details on her death certificate. |
