"Dust to Dust / Rowley / Miss Elizabeth Rowley died at her home on Fifth St., Saturday, October 5th, 1929 of heart trouble, aged 72 years. Mrs. Rowley was born in Butler County on what is known as the Shearer Farm, near Fisk Chapel, Nov. 19th, 1857, but has lived the greater part of her life in Freeport. She was married to Henry W. Rowley, Jan 19th, 1886, by Rev. Leonard, then pastor of the M. E. Church here. With her husband, she is survived by five children, Carrie and Myron, at home, Clyde of Freeport, Howard of Vandergrift, and Mrs. Sarah Mickey, Laneville. Mrs. Rowley was essentially a home loving and home keeping woman, but was known to nearly everyone in the community and had a large circle of friends. She was the pivot on which the whole family circle revolved, and will be sadly missed by all of them. She gave them a lifetime of devotion and care, and it was returned in kind by everyone of the family, "mother" being the first thought and care of both father and children. Although suffering a chronic illness for years, as far as humanly possible, she never permitted her pain to cloud the lives of others. We are all going to miss Mother Rowley, and extend to the family, along with a host of others, the sympathy of a friend."

"On Tuesday evening, December 31, Mrs. Elmira Rowley, an old lady living on the north side of town, met with a horrible death. When her son, who is a coal miner, returned from work about 5 o'clock, he found her quite dead, lying with her head under the grate and all her clothing burnt off. She was subject to fits, and the supposition is that she was attacked while standing before the fire and fell in the position in which she was found. She was alone in the house, and, of course, could get no assistance, even if she had called for it, the building being isolated."

"ROWLEY, Henry Walter / Our community was shocked last Saturday when word was received that Henry Walter Rowley, one of our oldest business men and native sons had succumbed to a heart attack, and death had occurred about 6:15 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 25th, 1934, at the age of 79 years, having passed his 79th birthday on January 9th, 1934. He made his usual trip to Canada this year, but did not stay as long as usual, and it was noticed during the past month he was failing. He was born in Freeport, January 9th, 1855, attended the public schools here, and celebrated his 51st year in business last January. He started in the stationary business buying out the late Walter A. Weaver, in the building now occupied by the Humes Restaurant. He moved later to the general store occupied by the Late General Anderson, and in 1890, erected the building now occupied by the American Store on Fifth St. He acted as agent for all of the Pittsburgh papers until several years ago when the agency was sold to L. Viletto & Son, he continuing the stationary business in the Clark building until about a year ago when the Dibert Building across the the street was purchased. He was always interested in outdoor sports, particularly baseball, and if he had been paid for all the goods he sold on credit, would have had much more wealth than he possessed. He was married on Jan. 19th, 1886, to Elizabeth Dike, of this place, who preceded him in death, October 5th, 1929. Of this union five children survive, Mrs. W.W. Rowley and Myron at home, Howard, of Wheeling, W. Va., Clyde, of Verona and Mrs. Merle Mickey, Laneville. He is also survived by 8 grandchildren. One of the marked characteristics of the deceased was his love of children, and he was never too busy to listen to their troubles or give them a helping hand. He took a keen interest in sports, and was for many years official scorer for the old Baseball Club. His death marks the passing of another of the Old Guard, and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and services were held in his late home on Fifth street, Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 28, at 2:00 p.m., by his pastor, Rev. Taylor H. Carson, and internment was made in the family plot in the Freeport Cemetery. Out of town folks who came to pay their respects to their old friend, Henry. W. Rowley, included E. N.
