Thomas Hume and his wife, Elizabeth (Watt) Hume came from Wellington County, Ontario to homestead in Pope County, Ben Wade Township, Minnesota, in 1868. The land is right north of where Lowry is now. The town of Lowry was built on part of the farm. Thomas had two cousins living in the area. He came by boat from Owen Sound on Lake Huron to Superior City on Lake Superior. From there they traveled through wilderness by team and wagon to Pope County. http://www.lowrymn.com/bennett%20family.htm
