Cherilla Storrs Lowrey

Cherilla Lillian Storrs Lowrey (August 18, 1861 – January 9, 1918) was an American educator and clubwoman based in Hawaii.

[7][8] In 1912, Lowrey was one of the original seven members and the first president of The Outdoor Circle,[9] a women's organization based in Honolulu, initially under the auspices of the Kilohana Art League.

The Circle was dedicated to city beautification,[10] especially against billboards and in favor of public fountains, parks, playgrounds, and gardens,[11] and "to conserve and develop the natural beauties of the landscape by encouraging the growth of native trees and shrubs, and the introduction of such new ones as belong to tropical life".

[1][13] The Outdoor Circle and other friends commissioned a marble fountain by sculptor Roger Noble Burnham, in memory of Lowrey.

"No environmental group has had such a profound, positive impact on Hawai'i as The Outdoor Circle," Duke Bainum said in a 2000 newspaper interview.
