Dr. Rowe was a member of St. Joseph’s church, Moose, Eagles and Elks lodges; Fraternal Order of Police and National Rifle association. He was born Nov. 12, 1908, at Athens, the son of Frederick and Grace HEETER ROWE, and had spent most of his life in this community. His marriage was Aug. 21, 1941, at Indianapolis, to Margaret LEE, who survives. Also surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Karl (Lee Ann) NEWCOMB, St. Mary’s-of-the-Woods, Ind., and Miss Dina G.

Howard H. ROWE, 62, who died Saturday night at South Bend Memorial hospital after a brief illness. Official cause of Dr. Rowe’s death was announced today by the attending physician in South Bend as an aneurysm of the aorta. Dr. Rowe had practiced medicine here 26 years.
