Notice biographique
Captain Richard Lowerison was born in Aulac, Westmorland County on April 22, 1822. At age 35 on December 29, 1857, he married Mary Keillor, daughter of Thomas Coates Keillor (1788-?) and Mary Jones (1799-?). Richard and Mary had 4 children between 1859 and 1868: Alice Bertha Lowerison, Elmore Harold Lowerison (MD), Mabel Mary Aravessa (Horace Ellsworth Fawcett), and Ethel Ellen Lowerison. Census and ship records confirm that the Captain worked as a Master Mariner and ship owner from 1839 to some time between the last ship record (1873) and the first census report where his occupation is listed as retired (1881). Throughout his time as a Master Mariner, he owned shares in many locally built ships, and frequently did business with close friend and notable Dorchester, New Brunswick ship builder, Gideon Palmer. He moved to Amherst in 1872 and spent several years in retirement then took up the position of Registrar or Probate in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia in approximately 1892. Captain Lowerison died January 29, 1904 in Cumberland County.
Historique de la conservation
These records came to the Trust from Maurice (Jake) Fisher who had inherited these items from his father, Charles Maurice Parkin (C.M.P.) Fisher, whose mother Mabel Mary Aravessa Lowerison was the daughter of Capt. Lowerison and Mary Keillor. The first donation came from Maurice Fisher’s daughter, Susan Fisher, in 2012 after her father’s death in 2011. The second accrual originally came to the Trust as a long-term loan in 2006 from Maurice Fisher for a permanent exhibit (which also included artefacts) and was changed to a donation by his children Susan and Ian Fisher in 2020.
