W. Jasper Rowan Died on Saturday
	W. Jasper Rowan, well known farmer of the Massie section, died Saturday 
afternoon at five o’clock at his home following an illness of two weeks.  Death 
was due mostly to advanced age.  He was 86 years of age and had been in good 
health until two weeks ago.
	Mr. Rowan was born in Clinch County and moved to this county when a 
young man and had lived here ever since.  For a number of years he lived in 
Nashville but moved back to his farm near Massie in 1920 where he had lived 
before and after his years spent in Nashville.  He was a prosperous farmer, good 
neighbor and well liked by all who knew him.  He was first married to Miss Mary 
Watson, who preceded him in death in 1918.  Then in 1920 he was married to Mrs. 
Ethel R. Weatherly by whom he is survived.  He was a devoted member of the 
Riverside Baptist Church.
	Funeral services were held Sunday at noon at Long Bridge Church, with 
interment in the church cemetery.  Rev. Hardy Stevens of Riverside Church, and 
Rev. Julian Rowan conducted the services.
	A choir composed of Edgar Griffin, N.H. Harper, and Mrs. Charlie Griffin 
sang “Carry Me Away on Snowy Wings,” “Amazing Grace,” and “How Beautiful Heaven 
Must Be.”
	The pall-bearers were found grandsons, Byron Connell and Carey Connell 
of Massie, W.J. Henderson and Maurice Henderson of Ocilla; a nephew, B.J. Rowan; 
and Elwood Graham of Massie.
	Survivors besides the wife include three younger children, William 
Jasper Rowan, Army, Fort Lewis, Wash., Myrtice and Jack Rowan and one step-
child, Irene Parker.  The children by the former marriage are as follows:  Mrs. 
S.A. Wheless, Lake Wales, Fla., Mrs. N.H. Devane, Dade City, Fla., Mrs. G.B. 
Henderson of Ocilla, Mrs. Florrie Bowlin of Dade City, Fla., A.V. Rowan of St. 
Petersburg, Fla., W.H. Rowan of Ray City, and B.F. Rowan, who is serving in the 
Army somewhere overseas.  Also twenty-one grandchildren, thirty great-
grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
