From Victor Herald 14 December 1895

Jeanette Wilder Rowley, wife of Franklin Rowley, died at her home on Church street Saturday night, age 66 years. She was in usual health and performed her usual duties on Saturday, and in the evening made her usual preparations for Sunday, and about ten o'clock retired for the night. About four o'clock Sunday morning, Mr. Rowley awoke, attended to the fire and went back to bed, not disturbing his wife. He slept till about half past six and then got up; he spoke to his wife but getting no response, touched her; he was horrified to find her rigid and cold. He called his son, Dr. Charles Rowley, and a glance told the sad story -- she had been dead several hours. Death had been peaceful, and painless, there was no indications that she had struggled or moved since she retired. Dr. Mead was called and made an examination; he decided that death was due to apoplexy. The coroner was notified, but he did not think an investigation necessary.

Mrs. Rowley was the second daughter of Wm. Wilder of South Bristol. She was educated at East Bloomfield Academy and taught school several terms. She was married to Franklin Rowley of Bristol, Dec. 25th, 1858, and the family have made Victor their home most of the time since. Besides her husband, she leaves six sons, Calvin, Charles, and George of this town; Wm. and Clark of Chicago; and Frank of Plainfield, N. J. Mrs. Rowley was a woman of rare domestic, motherly traits, devoted to her family, to the church of Christ and the cause of humanity. She was a member of the Methodist church and a teacher in the Sabbath school. The funeral was very largely attended from the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Hudnutt conducted the service, assisted by Rev. Mr. Frost. Very appropriate music was rendered by Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Curtice, Mr. Phillips and W. F. Brace. The floral offerings were abundant and beautiful. The interment was at Boughton Hill cemetery.
