ROWLEY, Franklin, Victor,............
Mr. ROWLEY's father, Andrew, was born in Stockbridge, Mass., in 1800, and came to Victor with his parents when a boy. He married Sarah BIGELOW and had four children: Franklin, Elizabeth, Sarah and Bigelow. Mr. ROWLEY's grandfather was captain in the War of 1812.
From Ontario County Journal 23 November 1877
Died in Victor, on the morning of November 12th, Mr. Andrew Rowley, aged 79 years. He was born in the town of Lima, N. Y., and shortly after his birth his parents removed to this village, which he has always made his home. Mr. Rowley was twice married, and his second wife, and four children by his first wife, survive him. His business was that of a contractor, and there are today several embankments and culverts upon the Central railroad which were made by Mr. Rowley. The largest undertaking of this kind which was built by him, was a large portion of the Welland canal in Canada. Nearly his whole life was passed amidst the busy, exhaustive labors of his profession. Mr. Rowley was a leading member of the Methodist church, and but few have done more in effectually planting and promoting the substantial growth of Methodism in this section. For several years prior to his death, he was compelled to relinquish the activities of life and assume the position of an invalid. It cost his strong, positive, self-reliant nature no little struggle to say "Thy will be done," but grace conquered, and at length, after tedious months of languishing and pain, the veteran calmly and serenely passed to his rest. His funeral was held at the M. E. church on Wednesday afternoon of last week, Rev. Mr. Benson preaching the funeral sermon.
