Mrs. Eliza Rowe Is Called by Death
	Alapaha, Ga., July 20. – Mrs. Eliza Rowe, widow of Richard Rowe, several 
years deceased, died at her home some five miles southeast of this place on 
Saturday at eleven o’clock, after an extended illness due to old age and 
infirmities.
	Mrs. Rowe was nearing her seventy-eighth year and had been a widow since 
the death of her husband several years ago, and since which time she has resided 
in the family of one of her sons who lives in the old home occupied by Mrs. Rowe 
and her husband for more than forty years.
	Among the survivors of Mrs. Rowe are her sons, Martin T., of Alapaha, 
manager of Alapaha Telephone Exchange, and John Rowe, with whom Mrs. Rowe lived, 
besides other relatives and friends, all of whom loved Mrs. Rowe for her many 
kind and noble qualities.
	For two or three years she had been totally blind, but was otherwise 
possessed of her faculties, and a short call made by the writer last January was 
productive of an hour pleasantly spent in conversation about the topics of the 
day as well as things of the long ago, all of which showed the keen interest and 
memory of this aged and afflicted lady.  Her body was laid to rest in the family 
burying ground beside her husband in the Rowe cemetery on Sunday.
	Mrs. Rowe, before her marriage to Mr. Rowe, was a Miss Vickers, a 
granddaughter of Drew Vickers, pioneer settler in Lowndes County, along with 
Alfred Belote, Ashley Lawson and others of their time, all of whom settled in 
western Lowndes County about 1820.  Her father’s name was Benjamin, and he lost 
his life early in the war while in the service.
	Mrs. Rowe’s mother was Lottie Hall, a niece of Sion Hall, her father’s 
name being John Hall, both of whom were pioneers in the settlement of south 
Georgia.
