Rowe was born in Keosauqua, Iowa, May 4, 1890, died Aug. 7, 1913, aged 23 years 3 months and 3 days. The early life of Miss Rowe was spent in Keosauqua where the family then resided. She attended the public schools of that place until 1899 when with her parents and younger sister she removed to their present country home four and one half miles south of Stockport. For three years she attended the Bonaparte High School, at the end of which time she left school to take up millinery work as a chosen occupation. She spent two seasons in Hillsboro, going from there to Keokuk where she became head trimmer in one of the large millinery establishments of that place. She later came to Bonaparte where she remained until her last illness compelled her to give up the work and return home. After a lingering illness and acute bodily suffering which she bore with great patience and fortitude, the gentle suffering spirit was lifted from its tenement of clay and carried on angel pinions to the peaceful shelter and abiding rest of that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. Of cheerful, sunny temperament, like the song bird whose morning note brings cheer for the burden and toil of the day, or like the tender flower whose fragrant beauty makes glad alike the peaceful valley and the cheerless plain, she lived a life that endeared her to all who knew her, and her going leaves a sweet, fond memory in the hearts of those who mourn her untimely death. In spite of all that could be done to save her she went from us, and today our hearts are sad. But underlying the heartache and sadness is the sweet hope of some day joining her in a world where parting is no more. She leaves to mourn her death a father, mother, sister Wealtha, and baby brother, besides a host of other near relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted from the home by Rev. C. S. Carroll assisted by a double quartet from the Hillsboro and Utica churches, Sunday morning Aug. 10. Intetrment [sic] in the Dibble Cemetery south of Utica.
