	Mrs. Mary Rowlett, a patient in Pinewood Nursing Home for almost a

County over fifty years ago with her husband, Joe Rowlett, whom she

and five girls. They are: Melven Rowlett and Mrs. Sophia Floyd of Waldron;
Danny Rowlett, Kingsboro, California; Mrs. Dortha Scott, Kansas City, 
Missouri; Josie Hunt and Mrs. Nola Taylor of Springfield, Oregon; and 
Mrs. Iva Irons of Star City.
	Mr. Rowlett was a farmer in the Cedar Creek community for many 
years, raising mostly corn and cotton. Mrs. Rowlett helped him in the 
fields as well as being a devoted mother and homemaker. She remembers 
when it was nothing to raise twenty bales of cotton a year.
	Mrs. Rowlett is a member of Cedar Creek Missionary Baptist Church. 
She is pictured with two of her daughters, Mrs. Dortha Scott on the left
