A mother never enjoyed the love and confidence of her children more than she did that of her two step-sons ED and ROBERT Rowe, She esteemed them as her own children and they were generous and kind to her. The oldest of them remarked to the writer that if she was ever offended at him, or he at her, he never knew it. Aunt Polly as she was called was a model of tenacity and simplicity. She died in peace at the home of her son W. I. ROWE in OHIO CO., KY. on JULY 11, 1883.

ROBERT ROWE, who was born in Ohio County, Kentucky on September 9, 1807, died at the home of his son-in-law REV. R. P. TAYLOR, in the north part of this county on NOVEMBER 12, 1883; aged 76 years, 2 months, 3 days. During his last afflictions the deceased gave unmistakable evidence of readiness to depart and with Christ. Bro. Rowe was not a church member; still his life was free from many of these blemishes often seen in characters of proposed saints. None knew him but to love him. Four children: 2 sons and 2 daughters bow beneath their sorrow and mourn that their father is with them no more. A lost relative and friends in his native county will be saddened by the news that UNCLE BOB ROWE, as he was called, is dead. His remains were taken back to Ohio County and in the church yard at Waltons’s Creek Baptist church he will sleep beside his companion of his pride and joy who several years ago entered upon her rest.

W. C. TAYLOR

CENTERTOWN NEW: UNCLE BOB ROWE, died at the home of his daughter in GRAVES COUNTY on the 12^th. His remains were brought home and interred at Walton’s Creek cemetery. The large concourse of friends and relative that assembled at his burial attest the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him, for he was only to be known to be admired. Two of his grandsons, Judson and Alfred Taylor, accompanied his remains to his old home here. They did remain with relatives in this vicinity.

NOTE; The death dates are as they were in the news items, they appeared on the same page of this issue.

At this point I think R. P. TAYLOR is RICHARD PREVETTE TAYLOR either the son or grandson of JOSEPH TAYLOR of the BEAVER DAM area, who was of the Moses TAYLOR LINE.
