Lake Odessa Wave - August 17, 1906
          MRS. ROWLADER DIES SUDENTLY

   Mrs. Chas. E. Rowlader of Woodland died about 3:30 yesterday morning at the Eagle
hotel, Grand Rapids, 
where she and Mr. Rowlader were stopping for the night.  They had left home the
afternoon before in their 
auto and were making somewhat of a round of grain elevators. Mr. Rowlader being the
senior member of the 
elevator firm of Rowlader Brothers and Reiser with elevators at Woodland, Coats
Grove and Hastings, also a 
heavy stock buyer.

   Mr. and Mrs. Rowlader arrived at Grand Rapids at about 11 p.m. and being very
hungry, they went to a cafe 
nearby and ate a hearty meal, Mrs. Rowlader especially so, then returning to the
hotel, they retired for the 
night.  

   About 3 o"clock Mr. Rowlader was awakened by the peculiar breathing of his wife
and found her 
unconscious, he called for assistance but all to no avail, the spirit of the loved
one taking its flight within a 
very few moments e'er assistance could come, excepting the Rev. Bridenstein who was
sleeping in the next 
room.

   Relatives and intimate friends at Hastings, Woodland and Lake Odessa were
notified, including Mr. and Mrs. 
Geo. York here.

   A coroner's inquest was held and death pronounced as coming from an acute attack
of indigestion.

   The remains were brought here on the noon train and met by friends from Woodland
where the funeral will 
be held tomorrow Saturday at 10 a.m. at the residence,  the Rev. Bridenstein
officiating.  Interment will be 
made in Lakeside cemetery.

   Mr. and Mrs. Rowlader had been married eighteen years and had already made for
themselves a  nice 
fortune she being as good as he in their business engagements.

   The deepy bereaved husband has the sympathy of a large circle of close friends in
this his sudden hour of 
great affliction.
