Description
DescriptionBorn 16 months apart Eva Maud Wyman (1881-1929) and her sister Olive Beatrice Wyman (1882-1959) were the eldest 2 daughters of Henry and Lucy Wyman’s 6 children. They had 2 more sisters and 1 brother. Henry was a prominent Ipswich architect and Mayor of Ipswich in 1894. The family home was “Edmonton” cnr Syntax and Herbert Streets, across the road from the Kippens at “Aberfeldy”, which Henry designed. Henry’s youngest sister Eliza Elizabeth Broughton (nee Wyman) was married to the brother of William Kippen’s elder sister Mary Ann Kippen (nee Broughton). Many members of their extended family lived in the surrounding streets.
Eva was a parish member of the Ellenborough Street Church, taught Sunday school and sang in the choir. Later in life she was an enthusiastic worker for the Central Methodist Church. In 1907 she married Alfred Albert Lowe of “Frampton Farm” Gatton at the Ellenborough St Methodist Church. They went on to have five sons and 1 daughter. Until 1911 they lived at “Frampton” in Rosebery St Highgate Hill Brisbane before moving to Ipswich in 1912 where they lived briefly at Burnett Street. From 1914 the family lived at “Frampton” 1 Woodend Rd West Ipswich. Between c1920 and 1962 Alfred ran Lowe Brothers Family Grocers on Warwick Rd. She died in 1929 and was buried at the Ipswich Cemetery, Warwick Rd. Alfred died at Ipswich in 1962.
Olive never married, and was also active in the Methodist community. Many years after her parents died 1913-1918 Olive still lived at “Edmonton”. Around 1930 she finished many years of teaching at the Ellenborough Street Methodist Sunday School. When she died in 1959 she was living with 1 or more of her 3 unmarried sisters at 5 Syntax Street, across the road from “Edmonton”.References (online)'Orange Blossoms: Lowe-Wyman', Queensland Times, Thursday 7th March 1907, p.12'Obituary [Eva Maud Lowe]', Daily Standard, Brisbane, Tuesday 12 November 1929, p.1'Ipswich [Surprise party for O.
