Mr. Rowles was a member of the Assumption church, the Knights of Columbus and Workman Lodge.
"Although Mr. Rowles was confined to his home since suffering a stroke of paralysis two years ago, he seldom complained and had a cheerful word for all whom he met, He kept himself informed in regard to people and happenings through conversation and through the newspapers and did not permit himself to be discouraged.
"Mr. Rowles is survived by two daughters, Mary of Morris and Alice of Green Bay, Wisconsin and five sons, Vincent, Bernard and George of this city, Clarence of Milwaukee and Luke of Hancock. He is also survived by brother, Patrick Rowles, of Goodhue and seven grandchildren.
