Death Claims George Rowan
	George Washington Rowan, 53, prominent Berrien County farmer and civic 
leader, died suddenly Tuesday night at his home on Route 4, apparently of a 
cerebral hemorrhage.
	Funeral arrangements will be announced later by the Lovein Funeral Home 
of Nashville.
	A native of Berrien County, he was born Dec. 28, 1893, the son of Mrs. 
Phoebe Knight Rowan and the late James H. Rowan.
Collapses at Table
	Mr. Rowan complained of illness at the supper table, collapsed a few 
minutes later and died before an ambulance arrived.
	He had been a trustee of the Poplar Springs School for the past nine 
years, a member of the Berrien County Board of Education, member of the AAA 
committee, director of the Berrien County Chamber of Commerce, president of the 
Poplar Springs Farm Bureau Chapter and a member of the Riverside Missionary 
Baptist Church.
	Tentative funeral arrangements call for funeral services from the Empire 
Baptist Church with burial following in the Empire Cemetery.
	Only last week Mr. Rowan had announced his candidacy for election to the 
Berrien County Commission.
Death is a Shock
	His death came as a shock to the entire community because he was so well 
known and liked and helped in its progressive development.
	Survivors are his mother, his wife, Mrs. Nelle Irene Roberson Rowan, 5 
sons, Durwood E. Rowan and William H. Rowan of the U.S. Navy, Carl J. Rowan, 
James H. Rowan, and George W. Rowan Jr., all of Nashville; two daughters, Miss
