Word of Death a Distinct Shock

Portland Residents Mourn When Passing Of Mrs. Warren Rowe Was Announced

Portland relatives and friends of Mrs. Warren Rowe were greatly shocked Friday 
when word was received from Muskegon announcing her death.  She had gone to a 
hospital in that city where she underwent an operation the week previous and 
from reports a short time before word of her death was received it was thought 
her recovery was almost certain.  Friday morning, however, a blood clot had 
formed in an artery and her condition rapidly became so serious that Mr. Rowe 
was sent for, but she had passed away before he could reach her bedside.  The 
body was brought to Portland and funeral services, in charge of Rev. John H. 
Stewart, held at her late home west of town Monday afternoon.  Interment was 
made in Portland cemetery.

Mrs. Rowe was born 49 years ago at Chase, Michigan.  Her maiden name was 
Winifred Whitcomb and she came to Portland with her mother, who was a sister of 
Frank Powers, when a small child.  She was a member of the graduating class of 
1902 of the Portland high school, later marrying Mr. Rowe, the couple residing 
since on a farm west of town near Kent’s corners.  Her mother, Mrs. Margaret 
Whitcomb, passed away about one year ago.

Among those from a distance to attend the funeral were Miss Mable Rowe, of 
Ridgewood, N.J.; Dr. Nettie Powers and father, Frank Powers, of Muskegon; Mrs. 
Ida Stevens and Peter Heminover, of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Dayrell and Mr. 
and Mrs. Frank Balluff, of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Frank La Rue and Mrs. Fred 
Teeples, of Howell; Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Tixley, of Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Lee 
Benedict, of Lyons.
