Obituary

Home Advisor, Vienna MO, 23 Apr 1911 JOHN F. ROWAN DIED SUDDENLY - One of Meta's prominent citizens died quite suddenly last Sunday morning. Early that day he had arisen to walk around in the yard but reclined on the couch again to wait for breakfast--he never rose again but soon expired, no doubt his heart having failed to respond to the necessary action. Deceased was 63 years old, leaves wife and six children in bereavement. A large attendance witnessed his funeral Tuesday morning. John F. Rowan formerly lived in this place where he conducted a blacksmith shop and later a store in connection with the Post-office. When Meta was organized he conceived the plan to follow his son Nate who had founded the Meta Herald and was successfully identifying himself with the town's upbuilding. There the two have been practically uninterruptedly connected in the publishing, lumber yard and manufacturing business. John F. Rowan was of a practical turn by endowment and close application. His reputation was honorable and his demise will be generally regretted. We extend sympathy. (From contributor, J. German)
