Portland Observer, 1 Mar 1923

Pneumonia Fatal To Mrs. J. H. Rowe

Highly esteemed Portland Matron Passed Away Sunday After Short Illness.

The death of Mrs. J. Harvey Rowe, which occurred Saturday afternoon, came as a 
great shock to her many Portland friends as it was reported that morning that 
her condition was greatly improved.  Both Mr. and Mrs. Rowe were ill with 
pneumonia at the same time, Mr. Rowe having so far recovered that he is able to 
be up around the house.

Mrs. Rowe was born in Orangeport, New York, May 12, 185?, residing at that 
place until she married Mr. Rowe.  Three years later they came to Orange, 
settling on the farm now owned by Frank Fedewa in 1882, living there until 
several years ago when they moved to Portland.

She was an ardent member of the Methodist church, a devoted wife and mother and 
sincere friend to a large number of residents of this vicinity who all join in 
offering their sympathy to the sorrowing family.

Besides the husband she is survived by a daughter, Miss Edna, and a son, Dr. 
Glenn Rowe, of Evart.  One sister, Mrs. O. B. Sime? of Buffalo, N.Y., who 
reached here a few hours before her death, also survives.

The funeral was held from the residence, Monday afternoon, in charge of Rev. 
Bancroft.  Interment was made in Portland cemetery.
