Ray County, Missouri Obituaries - Jesse Dotson Rowland (1816-1886) Jesse Dotson Rowland Richmond Conservator Thur Nov 18, 1886 p.1 Died At his residence, near Elkhorn, Mo, on the 11th day of November, 1886, Mr. Jesse D. Rowland, one of the oldest citizens of our county. He was born in the state of Indiana on the 6th day of September, 1816, and moved to Ray county in 1819 with his parents, and has ever since made this his home. Through industry and saving, he laid up quite an estate to be divided among his children. He was regarded by everyone who knew him as an honest, upright man, and by his death his neighbors have lost a useful citizen and his family a kind and devoted husband and father, to whom we extend our sympathies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by County Coordinator
