RICE LAKE CHRONOTYPE
Nov 6. 1903

Baron A. Stowe died Friday Oct. 30, 1903 of heart disease aged 71 years 
and 10 months.  His death was very sudden and unexpected.  He was apparently 
in good health and left the house for the purpose of looking after the stock 
in the barn.  His wife feeling uneasy about him on account of his continued 
absence went to search for him and found him sitting on the barn floor dead.  
From indications he died without a struggle and without warning.  The funeral 
was held at the Swedish Church at 2:30 p.m. and the body was laid to rest in 
the Turtle Lake cemetery.  A very large concourse of people attended the 
funeral as the deceased was a man of many sterling qualities and very popular 
having been a minister in the N. B. Church for many years.  He was born in 
Stowe, Vermont in 1831 and served in the Union Army during the Civil War being 
a member of the 4th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry.
