Pease, Elizabeth Lucy, 1833-1881
Biography
Fourth and youngest daughter of Joseph and Emma Pease (nee Gurney). Married John Fowler (1826-1864), agricultural engineer, on 30 July 1857, in a sober and quiet Quaker ceremony, unlike the wedding of her sister Rachel in 1851. John’s brother William was the second husband of Rachel Pease. After having designed and manufactured an innovative steam plough during the late 1850s and early 1860s, John Fowler founded a new steam plough manufacturing business in Leeds, “John Fowler and Co.,” in 1863. William eventually loaned money to the struggling J. & J.W. Pease Bank in 1897. Elizabeth enjoyed a comfortable life during the apex of the Pease family fortunes in the 19th century. John died of tetanus after a fall from his horse in 1864. Elizabeth and their five children survived him.
