CHARLES ROWLAND
The community was shocked last Saturday evening on hearing the sad news of the sudden death of Charles A. Rowland. About three years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke from which he never completely recovered. He had had frequent spells of late, but up to the time of his death was seemingly in fairly good health.
He was employed at the Huston livery barn, and had gone up in the hay mow to throw hay down for the horses about 4 o'clock and while in the mow was stricken again and he was found about an hour later. He was removed to his home but never regained consciousness, dying about 9 o'clock Saturday evening.
The funeral services were held Thursday morning at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. A. H. Stote. Interment was made in the Russell cemetery.
Charles Austin Rowland was born near Russell, Iowa, December 27th, 1856, and died at his home Saturday evening, November 16th, 1912, aged fifty-five years, ten months and twenty days. He was the only son of Holmes and Lucinda Rowland, early pioneers of Lucas county.
Charles spent his early life on the farm near Russell and on January 15th, 1878, was united in marriage with Eliza M. Vinsel. To this union seven children were born, all of whom are living: Elmer, of Blackfoot, Idaho; Mrs. W. B. Darrah, of Shenandoah, Iowa; Mrs. C. T. Warren, of Millard, Neb.; J. H., of Blackfoot, Idaho; Oneta, of Shenandoah; and Guilford and Mary, who are at home.
Ten years ago, Charles and family moved to Hemingford, Neb., living for five years on the ranch at that place. In 1907 they moved to Cainsville, Mo., going into the mercantile business, but three years ago sold out and moved back to Russell.
Three years ago, while living at Cainsville, Mo., Mr. Rowland was stricken with a paralytic stroke and for three months was in a precarious position. He had never fully recovered from this stroke and while his sudden death came as a shock to his family and friends, it was the fatal termination of conditions caused by the stroke at Cainsville, three years ago last February.
Charles Rowland was the possessor of an unusually sunny dispostion, always seeming able to see the bright side. He was a member of the Baptist church and of the Odd Fellows and M. W. A. lodges.
He leaves besides his wife and family, three sisters, Mrs. U. C. Holman, of Eugene, Ore., Mrs. R. C. Dixon, of Russell, and Mrs. Minta Whitten, of Boulder, Col., who will miss the smiling face of a kind, affectionate husband, father and brother.
