General Notes: Husband - William Lorenzo Rowles

---

He attended the country schools near his father's house, in boyhood, and afterward went to work in the woods and continued at this work for about one year after his marriage and then purchased a twenty-acre farm in Pike Township, of John M. Chase. At that time it was all woodland and he completed its clearing and erected substantial buildings. The coal was leased to M. J. Kelly & Co.
He and his family were members of Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church of which he was a trustee and a steward. He was always a Democrat since he cast his first vote. For three years he was a member of the school board of Knox Township.

His farm of twenty acres lay in Knox Township, Clearfield County, three miles east of Olanta, Pennsylvania.
