George E. Rowan (1868-1944) married Althea Prinkey (1875-1946), the daughter of John A. and Mariah (Murray) Prinkey. According to the Mill Run history, he was nicknamed "One-Armed George" to differentiate him from his cousin George S. Rowan, living nearby in Mill Run. They resided near the Indian Creek Reservoir and had eight children -- Arthur Rowan, Sylvia Prinkey, J. Domer Rowan, Clark Rowan, Howard Rowan, Charles L. Rowan, Jenny Anderson and Earl Rowan. Sadly, they lost an infant son in October 1916. They also tragically lost sons Howard and Charles in coal mine accidents in 1928 and 1936, respectively. George was a farmer. In January 1928, he filed a legal complaint against Fred Bowers, asking for payment of $110 in return for a tractor plow he had sold to Bowers. The case was heard by cousin William Henry "Squire" Miner, a justice of the peace in Mill Run. George won the civil suit and was paid the following month. Apparently unable to write his own name, George signed the paperwork with an "X."......He passed away the day after D-Day -- June 7, 1944, and a little more than one week after the death of his cousin, George S. Rowan.
