- Excerpt from "Descendants of George Rowles" by Ann Moloney Lamb:
John F. Rowells and his wife Nettie lived in Oklahoma Territory in 1907 and later moved to Chicago and then to Oshkosh, Wisconsin and finally Fond du Lac. He used his "wheel" for day-to-day commuting to his shop in downtown Fond du Lac where he continued to manufacture cigars until 1973. He hand-rolled and sold, through distributors, high-quality cigars from Wisconsin leaf and other blends. He lived to be 86.
Obituary: "City Cigar Maker Dies at Age of 86. John F. Rowells, 86, formerly of 42 W. 12th St., died at 6:50 pm. Monday at St. Agnes Hospital. He was presently a resident of Maple Manor Nursing Home.
