His condition assumed a critical aspect ten days ago and since that time his life had ebbed steadily. He entered the hospital April 14th. Mr. Rowan had resided in the Fair Oaks community since 1923 and previous to coming to Jasper County he lived near Danville in Vermillion County, Illinois, where he was born December 18, 1877, and Talbert, Morocco and Brook, Indiana.

She passed away April 19, 1942. Mr. Rowan was a member of the United Brethren church.
