Other Events:
Notes: From the notes of Pat Rafferty: I believe the reason the family was in two 1910 census records is that Frank W. and his wife, Harriet (Hattie J.) were not that crazy about each other and lived apart a lot. She was a refined lady, and he was a cowhand. He was a very gentle person. I don't remember hearing him use bad language, but he wasn't educated and refined as she was. He like to drink coffee out of his saucer, blow his nose with his finder, etc. When Tom and I became engaged, I showed him my ring, he kissed my finger and said he hoped I'd always be as proud of the ring as I was that night. He called me "Old Pat". Frank married Harriet Jane PEPPER on 28 Sep 1892 in San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo, California. Harriet (daughter of Charles PEPPER and Sara A. FRANKLIN) was born on 23 Mar 1870 in Eureka, Humbolt, California; died on 28 Sep 1922 in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, California; was buried on 30 Sep 1922 in Arroyo Grande Cemetery, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, California.

Notes: He and his family crossed the plains to California in a covered wagon in 1849. As William was quite ill on a large part of the journey, Elizabeth took his turn at patrolling the camp at night with a rifle over her shoulder. The Lowe's missed being members of the Donner Party by one day. The Lowes settled first in Placerville (then called Hangtown). When mining did not pay out, they moved to a farm in Oroville. Next, they moved to Healdsburg in Sonoma County. In 1868, members of the Lowe family took a buckboard and two saddle horses to the "Lower Country" and, en route, visited the padres at Mission San Antonio. The Lowes continued on horseback, and discovered that in the San Jacinto Canyon, east of San Miguel, wild oats were growing so tall that the stalks could be tied over the saddle horses' backs. Believing that they had found a bonanza, the Lowes returned to Healdsburg to relate their experiences. Deciding to move south, they left Healdsburg on October 22, 1868; it took 13 days to travel the 357 miles. On November 3, 1868, they arrived at the Nacimiento Ranch. In 1874, William and Elizabeth Lowe homesteaded land, seven miles northeast of San Miguel, in San Jacinto Canyon, which later became "Lowe's Canyon". There, they raised their seven children, all of whom had been born north of Healdsburg, at Lyon, on the Russian River. The intermittent stream that flows through the canyon is still called San Jacinto Creek. The Spanish name, Jacinto, honors a Silesian-born Dominican friar by the name of Hyacinth.
