H. S. K. LOWRY, L.R.C.P.&S.I. & L.M.
Dr. H. S. K. Lowry, always known as Hubert to his many friends, died on
16 July at the age of 64 after a long and distressing illness.
Hubert Steen Kilroy Lowry came from Kells, Co. Meath. He went to
Coleraine Royal School and then proceeded to Trinity College, Dublin,
and qualified at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1925.
After qualification he held the post of resident medical officer at the
Royal City of Dublin Hospital.
He came to England in 1928 after spending a year as a ship
surgeon, and was for a short while in general practice in Southport. He
then joined Dr. Moore and Dr. Foster in practice at Hucclecote,
Gloucester, then a rural area but soon to become a thickly populated
suburban district as the result of the rapid growth of the local
aircraft - industry. The practice he entered, then only a small
nucleus, he built up until it eventually embraced seven partners at the
time of his retirement. Before the second world war he was for some
years an honorary anaesthetist at the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary
and
Eye Institution.
Always a keen and loyal supporter of the B.M.A., it gave him
much pleasure when his colleagues honoured him by electing him
president of the Gloucestershire Branch for 1955-6, and his
presidential address is remembered by many as illustrating his keen
interest in history, medical and otherwise. He subsequently served on
the Branch council.
He was one of those who regarded the courtesies between members
of the profession as being of the utmost importance, never failing to
adhere to them himself, and he observed the rules of medical ethics in
a similarly punctilious manner.
Brought up in the genial atmosphere of the Irish countryside, he
continued throughout his life to have a great love of fishing,
shooting, and golf. For a time he was captain of the Gloucester Golf
Club. Railways formed another subject of abiding interest to him.
He was held in great affection by his colleagues, friends, and
patients, who would wish to extend their sincere sympathy to his
family. He is survived by his wife, Joy, in whose magisterial duties he
always took a keen interest, a daughter, and two grandsons.- H. G. D.

THE MAGISTRACY (IRELAND) - MR JOSEPH LOWRY, SUB SHERIFF OF MEATH.
Mr SEXTON asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, with reference to 3 and 4 Will. 4, c. 68, s. 13, Whether Mr.
Joseph Lowry, of Kells, who holds, and has held for a number of
consecutive years, the office of sub-sheriff of the county of Meath,
also holds and has held, during the whole of the same period, a licence
"to sell beer, cider, or spirits by retail to be consumed on the
premises?
Mr TREVELYAN: I am informed that Mr. Joseph Lowry does not hold
such a licence, and that he has not held one since his appointment as
Sub-Sheriff.
Mr SEXTON: May I ask if some considerable time before he was
appointed he transferred his licence to his wife's sister?
Mr TREVELTAN: Sir, my information is that since he held the
appointment of Sub-Sheriff he has held no such licence. A transfer of
the licence which took place was, I am informed, perfectly bona fide.
Death: 1913, in Navan district, county
Meath, Ireland
Notes: In the 1880's, Joseph initially
leased and subsequently bought a
property named
Bachelors Lodge in
Kells, county Meath. The 200 acre property, which is still in the Lowry
family, was as a stud farm for many years, and, since 1990, is home to
the Bachelors Lodge Equestrian
Center. Joseph Lowry was one of the founder members of Navan
Racecourse on the Proudstown road. He owned and bred two Irish Derby
winners in Killeagh and Bachelor's Double, a close relation to Bachelor's
Button, a horse owned by Joseph that won the Champion Stakes at
Newmarket in 1904, and the Ascot Gold cup in 1906.

Kingley, who in more prosperous times was his trusted servant, stopped
for a brief chat. After a few moments' conversation, Mr. Garnett took

near the spot, at once rendered assistance. They lifted the unfortunate
gentleman out of the trap, and, having laid him down, made efforts to
revive him. Dr. T. F. Sparrow, M. D., was soon on the scene and
pronounced life extinct, death being due to heart disease.
