Ernest F. Rowley (1859 - 1919)


"E. F. ROWLEY
Well Known Kennedy Man Died Suddenly this Morning While at Work.
Kennedy, Oct. 13 — The death of Ernest F. Rowley occurred this morning at 7:30 o'clock at his home in this village at the age of about 60 years. He leaves the wife Ella Rowley, one son, C. Lynn Rowley of Jamestown and three daughters: Mrs. Bert Rublee of Ellington; Mrs. Russell Hayes of Pittsburgh and Miss Ernestine Rowley of Kennedy. The funeral will be held from the late home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Mr. Rowley's death came very suddenly. While not feeling in the best of health Saturday, Sunday found him as well as usual apparently. This morning he went to the barn and while there was stricken with heart failure from which he did not rally. He was well known through this vicinity and respected by every one.
Mr. Rowley was at one time extensively engaged in the manufacture of butter and cheese and owned and operated a string of cheese and butter factories in the dairy sections of the two countries. He formerly lived in Ellington and represented that town on the board of supervisors in 1889 and 189, and later represented the town of Poland on the board in 1894 and 1895 being one of the few men in the county to represent two different towns in such service."

Elizabeth Stone (Moss) Rowley (1880 - 1925)


"In the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Moss Rowley, wife of C. Lynn Rowley which occurred Saturday evening at the W.C.A. hospital, the community loses an estimable woman whose life was devoted to the most useful work in the world, the training of little children to become good men and women.
Mrs. Rowley leaves a family of four children. Two are her own. The other two are the son and daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Fred C. Purcell whose tragic death in an automobile accident in Buffalo was noted in the newspapers some years ago. These little children were deeply attached to Mr. and Mrs. Rowley and as there were no near relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Rowley took them in their home.
Mrs. Rowley has resided in Jamestown 25 years and in that time she has made a wide circle of friends who learn with the keenest sorrow of her untimely death and who will extend to be bereaved family their most heartfelt sympathy."
