    Notes 
    • Excerpt from "Descendants of George Rowles" by Ann Lamb:
      When her husband died at age 46 leaving her with 7 children, she took in washing and ironing. Sometime after the death of George B. Rowells in 1896, Margaret Shanahan Rowells and family moved from Waupun, Wisconsin, to Ogema, Wisconsin, up in Price County. They farmed for several years during which time they built one of the first slip-formed conrete silos in the state. Esther married Earl Henning Anderson in 1918. By the 1920's only George, Luke, Bess and May remained on the farm with their mother.
      After George B.'s death the family then moved from the farm to Marshfiled, Wisconsin, in Wood County, where they had an apartment building and general store.
      After World War II, Margaret Rowells, May, Luke and George sold the apartment and store and relocated to Beaver Dam, WI, back in Dodge County. Margaret rmained in excellent physical and mental health until her death in 1953 at age 99. She worte frequent leters in beautiful handwriting until the end. May then married Henry Fritz Groose in 1960 (she was 72). Luke and George never married.
