  Peter Rowe, son of the late John and Frances Rowe, died at his home, 422 Ohio 
Street, Lorain Borough, Johnstown, at noon on Monday, February 8th, at the age 
of 67 years, from a complication of diseases incident to a severe accident he 
sustained about four years ago in a mine in Johnstown.
  Mr. Rowe was born in England and came to this country with his parents at the 
age of six and lived for many years in Meyersdale.  In 1897 he was united in 
marriage with Anna Albright who with one daughter, Miss Frances Rowe, survives 
him.  A son died in infancy.  Mr. Rowe is also survived by these brothers and 
sisters:  Fred Rowe and Mrs. John Finnegan, of Meyersdale; William, John and 
Matthew Rowe, Mrs. Jack Thirkel, Mrs. Frank Beynon and Mrs. George Siehl, all of 
Johnstown.
  On Monday afternoon Undertaker J. L. Tressler brought the body to Meyersdale 
to the home of Melvin Albright, brother of Mrs. Rowe.  Funeral services were 
conducted at the Albright home at 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon by the pastor of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. W. T. Robinson, followed by burial in Union 
Cemetery.  Three members of the Odd Fellows Lodge and three members of the Moose 
Lodge acted as pallbearers.  Mr. Rowe was a member of both of these lodges.
