Oh, rereading it, the age given (96) is Daniel's, not Edith's, isn't it? Daniel sr died in 1889, aged 66, so it isn't him. There is a Daniel Lowrey death registered Jul-Sep 1897 Chapel en le Frith registration district (England), age 56. And the Liverpool Mercury 18 Aug 1897 has the following announcement:
The death has taken place at Buxton of Mr Dan Lowrey, the well-known Irish music hall proprietor. Mr Lowrey, who had been ailing for some months past, was managing director of the Star Music Hall, Dublin, the Empire Theatre of Varieties, Belfast, and a similar place of amusement recently opened in Cork.
So I guess the age has been mistranscribed from that inscription, and should say 56.
