Athens U.B. church which was erected in 1930. The deceased was actively engaged in business interests in Chicago and real estate holdings in and about Fulton county, and through her activities in this field had made a wide acquaintance of friends in both Chicago and this vicinity. The survivors are the husband, a foster son Joe STREICH, aged 12; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George F. ROWE, of Athens, three brothers, Fred [ROWE], of this city, Ralph [ROWE], of near Athens, William [ROWE], of Chicago, and two sisters, Mrs. Bessie CLEMANS, of Logansport, and Mrs. Orpha BURKETT, of Athens.

Mrs. Fred ROWE, 44, well known resident of Athens, passed away about two-thirty Friday morning at Woodlawn hospital following an operation for the removal of a tumor. Grace L. HEETER was born a short distance north of Athens on August 4, 1882, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis HEETER, and was 43 years and nine months of age when she died. She made her home in that community all her life and was married to Fred [G.] ROWE at Athens [on June 11, 1905]. She is survived by her father and mother, her husband and four children, all at home, Howard [ROWE], Eva [ROWE], Dora [ROWE] and Josephine [ROWE]. Funeral arrangements later.

Saturday, May 15, 1926. Grace L. ROWE, only child of Francis L. and Mary E. HEETER, was born near Athens, Indiana, August 4th, 1882. She passed away at Woodlawn hospital, Rochester, Indiana on May 7th, 1926. Her death followed an operation for the removal of a tumor. She was united in marriage with Fred ROWE at Athens, Ind., on June 11th, 1905 and to this union were born four children, Howard [ROWE], Eva [ROWE], Dora [ROWE] and Josephine [ROWE], who with her husband, father and mother, as well as a host of relatives and friends, survive. She will be missed in the home and in the family circle and the whole community feels keenly her loss, but God saw fit to transplant her to the heavenly home, where there is no sickness, sorrow or pain, there to await the coming of those who still linger here, and mourn in this sad hour of bereavement. So we can but bow to the will of an all wise creator and say “Not our will but thine O God be done.” . . . .²
