First and surnames can appear in various spellings in differing sources. Be aware of those differences when researching this family. There are differences in the obituaries of Peter Gow and Jennet Gow as to the number of children that they had. At least eight children are accounted for; Peter's obituary said that they had nine children, while Jennet's obituary said she was the mother of eight. Keep in mind that obituaries of the 19th century often mentioned the number and/or names of only living, surviving children, omitting mention of any children (by name or number count) that may have pre-deceased one or both parents. Depending on when a child was born and died, they may or may not be found on census reports, so family researchers need to consider all sources together, not just individually. ------ Note: This is the full obituary transcription found by this contributor and re-transcribed by Joey Stark for the IaGenWeb Jefferson County obituary collection: "Fairfield Tribune", July 15, 1891, Pg. 2, Col. 2 DEATH OF MRS. PETER GOW. Another of Fairfield's old and highly respected residents has been called away by death. At her home in this city last Friday, July 10th, occurred the death of Mrs. Peter GOW, a woman well known in Jefferson county and by everyone held in high esteem. Mrs. Janette PARKER GOW was born in Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 14, 1818. She was therefore in her 73d year at the time of her death. In 1838 she was married to Peter GOW, also a native of Scotland. Together with her husband she came to this county in 1846, and for many years with her husband and family she lived on a farm northwest of Fairfield, moving from thence to this place. She was the mother of eight children: Francis, James, Christina, Janette, Sarah Jane, Mary M., Isabella and Anna. These are all living and are located as follows: James, the only son, lives in Carrollton, Arkansas; Francis Married W. A. MEEK and resides in Dickinson County, this state; Christina is married to George BRADFIELD and lives at Brookville, this county. The others all reside in this township. Janette is the wife of I. N. BRYANT; Sarah Jane the wife of Henry RIDER; Mary M. the wife of John BOWERMASTER; Isabella the wife of John MYERS; Anna, who lives on the home place, the wife of James B. RILEY. For more than forty years Mrs. GOW had been a member of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, exemplifying in her life the faith she professed. The great esteem in which she was held by her neighbors was testified by the large numbers both from her former home in the country and in town who attended her funeral, which took place from her late residence an (sic) Third North street Saturday, July 11th, at 2 p.m. The services were conducted by Rev. E. L. Schreiner. ~~~~~~ Contributor note: The main monument for Peter and Jennet Gow has long since been toppled from the base (likely by vandalism). The inscriptions for each are at least partly visible (thankfully) due to the way the inscription portion landed on the side. The inscription photo shown on this memorial has been rotated to allow the viewer to read the inscription.
