LEONTINE GACHON AND THADDEUS LOWE
Courtship and Marriage
Thaddeus Sobieski Constantine Lowe was giving one of his scientific lectures at a hotel in New York city. Leontine Augustine Gachon just happened to be in the audience. After the lecture, and introduction was arranged and the two met. It was love at first sight! One week later, the two were married by a justice of the peace in the same hotel where they had met. The wedding date was February 14, 1855 on Valentines Day.
