He came to the Red Oak Grove vicinity with his parents when he was a child, and has been a resident of that vicinity ever since.

Mr. Rowser and Jean Findlay of Tipton were married about 1897. After the death of his wife he made his home with his sister.

In early manhood he became a member of the Methodist church and continued in that fellowship. It was with assurance of life eternal that he looked forward to the future life.

Those surviving are: Milton of Stanwood, Charles, who lives in Colorado, and Dr. E. E. Rowser of Clarence. Also Mrs. Oscar Speer of Buckingham.
