MARY McDEVITT ROWE

  Mary McDevitt Rowe, wife of Frederick E. Rowe, Jr., died at her home on Drexel 
Road, Philadelphia, Monday, April 19, after a siege of illness.  She is survived 
by her husband, and three children, Lt. (j. g.) Frederick E. Rowe, III, 
U.S.N.R., now located at Miami, Fla.; Patricia, 15, and Joseph, 13, at home; 
also four brothers, John J. McDevitt, Jr., Judge Harry S. McDevitt, and Joseph 
McDevitt, (Mrs. Rowe's twin brother), of Philadelphia, and George A. McDevitt of 
New York.
  Mass was held in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Overbrook, Wednesday morning, 
followed by interment in the Holy Cross Cemetery.  The niece of Mr. and Mrs. S. 
B. Philson, Meyersdale, Mrs. Rowe visited in Meyersdale frequently during her 
girlhood.  When she became the bride of Fred Rowe Jr., who was at that time in 
the coal business with his father and brothers, the couple established their 
first home in Meyersdale, moving to Philadelphia some years later.
