Lowry Presbyterian Church, Fitzroy-Huntley Township Line.
A Presbyterian clergyman in Perth, Ontario, Rev. Wm. Bell, heard that the people of this faith in Fitzroy needed a clergy to serve their needs. In 1837, after reaching Fitzroy Harbour, he made his way for 10 miles over a difficult trail to the home of Mr. Hamilton Lowry in a small settlement called Marathon on the Fitzroy-Huntley boundary. Here, Rev. Bell preached and baptized four children. The house was "crowded in all its rooms." Next morning, Rev. Bell preached again to a full house since their were many Presbyterian families who had settled in the two townships. One year later, his successor, Rev. Thomas Wilson, made the journey to the Lowry community where he christened three children. In 1841, Rev. Alexander Mann was inducted into this charge where he served for several years until he was assigned to the Pakenham charge.

Hamilton Lowry donated a small acreage facing the boundary line between Huntley and Fitzroy between 8th and 9th concessions to build a centre of worship for neighbouring families of the Presbyterian faith. By 1845, supported by donations of money and free labour from the parishioners, Lowry church was ready for use. In due time a shelter for horses and rigs was erected on the western corner of the church. Land was marked out between the church and the nearby creek for a cemetery, known to future generations as Lowry Cemetery.

Following church union in 1925, Lowry church closed its doors. Mr. Wm. Lytle dismantled the structure in 1935 and used the material to build his home near Carp. The cemetery was subsequently extended across the area where the church and sheds had stood. A black steel fence and gateway was erected around the cemetery in 1976, a bequest of the late Abbie Hanna and a contribution from Mr. Irwin Haskett, a former MLA for Ottawa South.
