___________________________

Francis Lowell was born near St. David's in Niagara Township on August 13, 1814 and served as an apprentice to a saddler and harness maker in Hamilton. He came to Preston in 1837 and set up his own harness shop and saddlery. Within three years of his arrival he purchased a local hotel which he operated until 1845. He then sold the hotel to Thomas McMillan and bought the Queen's Arms Hotel in Galt which he continued to own until his death in 1900. Along with a Mr. Hobson he secured the Government contract to carry the mail from Hamilton to Galt and from there to Goderich and Southampton. To fulfill his mail contract he built up an extensive stage coach system, which included the maintenance of up to one hundred and eight horses. With the coming of the Great Western Railway to Galt in 1854, stage coaches were no longer used to carry the mail to the town. However, Mr. Lowell's stages continued to operate from Galt to settlements in western Ontario until the rail lines finally reached there as well. In about 1865 Mr. Lowell retired from the direct operation of the Queen's Arms Hotel and purchased a large farm near Montrose where he raised sheep, cattle and race horses. He later sold his farm and livestock and retired to private life in Galt. Unable to remain entirely on the sidelines, Mr. Lowell took a renewed interest in the operation of the renamed Queen's Hotel. He had the hotel renovated and refurbished and then took to the sidelines again, leaving the management of the hotel to his son Charles Lowell. Francis Lowell died on February 18, 1900 and is buried in Trinity Anglican Cemetery.
