General Notes: Husband - John Davis Rowland

---

He was reared in his native township and attended the local schools. Until he was twenty years old he worked on the homestead and dealt in stock from the time he was fourteen or fifteen years of age, thus early developing business ability. For the three years following his leaving home he worked as a carpenter in the West, but coming back to Indiana County, Pennsylvania, he went into a butchering business at Punxsutawney, where he remained for two years. For the next two years he worked in the country regions throughout the state as a carpenter, and then coming to Marion Center operated as a stock dealer for a period. He also carried on this line of business at Pittsburgh, and then for a year engaged in carpenter work in that city. Coming back to Marion Center, in response to a demand, he established himself in a butchering and stock business. Following that, he was in a livery business for a time, but eventually devoted all his attention to his meat business.
He was a Republican and served as a school director of his township, and for nine years was a member of the council of Marion Center, and he was also constable. Fraternally he was an Odd Fellow, and noble grand of the local lodge. He also belonged to the Knights of Malta at Pittsburgh. The family were Baptists in religious association.
