Charles Rollans came to Alberta from Arnprior, Ontario in 1905 and to Bowden in 1907, where he lived until his death at 83 years in 1972. He married another pioneer of the Bowden District, Christina Craig. This old-time couple had five children, two boys and three girls. During his lifetime Charlie was connected with a number of enterprises but chiefly those having to do with farming and cattle. An early photo taken by Bob Hoare shows him in 1909 in the local meat market. This was in one of the buildings that was later desroyed in the 1916 fire which burned many of the business places of Bowden at that time. Mr. Rolans served for some twenty years as supervisor of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association in central Alberta and became well known for his activities in this regard. His knowledge of cattle and the market for cattle was of great value to the feeders of this general area. For a number of years he had a small farm just to the southwest of Bowden, but most of his years he made his residence in town.
