Franklin B. Rowley was born September 2, 1847, on the old homestead about three miles south of Fabius where he resided until about nineteen years ago when he and wife removed to the village where they purchased a place in which they enjoyed their last few years in comfort. Mrs. Rowley passed away three years ago, leaving her husband very lonely.
Up to within a year he was able to do considerable work on his farm and made a fine garden, declining strength forced him to discontinue work and as winter came on he was unable to be about much. He possessed a very strong constitution and had braved many hardships. He was "Grandpa" Rowley to old and young in the village and was held in high esteem by all.
Mr. Rowley passed away at his home, Friday, Dece. 26, about 9:30 P.M. The funeral was held at the home Monday, December 29, Rev. Carl Swift officiating. Burial was in Fabius Evergreen Cemetery.
He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. C. Adell Hill, a son Byer F. Rowley; five granddaughters, Mrs. Chas. Selover, Mrs. Leonard Foster, Mrs. Alfred Jensen, Emily and Esther Rowley; also seven great-grandsons and two great-granddaughters."

Ansil and Almira McK, Griffeth and born in Clayton February 6, 1850. During her father's pastorate at Sum_ Hill she met and married William Mosher with whom she spent many years and after his death she married Franklin B. Rowley of Fabius. Twenty-three years of contented and happy companionship was allowed them.
She is survived by her husband and his family; two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Marsh of Philadelphia and Mrs. Frank Crosby, of Bear Lake, Pa; also several nieces and nephews.
She once said "Possibly God gave her no children of her own but that she could be 'Grandma' to all other children. Certainly she was "Grandma" Rowley to old and young in the village.
The funeral was held at the Baptist church, Rev. H. Victor Kane officiating; Mrs. KANE sang two beautiful solos. The well filled church showed the high esteem in which "Grandma" was held. Burial in the family plot at Fabius Evergreen Cemetery.
Relatives from out of town to attend the services were Mrs. and Mrs. Frank Crosby of Bear Lake, Pa, who helped care for her the last two weeks. Mrs. Alta Grace Ellis of Philadelphia, Mrs. and Mrs. Mason Berry of LaFayette, Sergt. Leslie Griffeth and family and Mrs. Cora Hayes and two daughters of Syracuse."
