About Samuel Penney Rowe

'…The final straw comes when young Max [Rowe] wanders into Sam's garden. Sam in a rage puts him over the fence and warns him to stay the hell out of his yard. Louise [Rowe, later King] witnessed what took place, and rushed over in a burst of anger. Holding her son close to her heart while pointing a finger at Sam, Louise declares "I put my widow's curse on you, you son of a bitch. You will never have a son of your own to treat like this."' (from Louise Kitchen Rowe King: Our Grandmother by Cheryl Hardy)

The widow's curse seemed to take hold: Sam never had sons, only a daughter Hilda.
