ROWLEY, Edson M. (1860 - 1919)
"EDSON M. ROWLEY DIES - 
PUBLIC-SPIRITED VANCOUVER MAN IS PARALYSIS VICTIM - 
Resident of City for 38 Years and Largest Taxpayer in County. -
Noted for Integrity -
"VANCOUVER, Wash. June 8 - (Special) - Thousands of residents of 
Vancouver and Clarke county mourn today for Edson M. Rowley, one 
of the most prominent, popular and public-spirited men in 
southwestern Washington, is dead, having passed away at 8:30 this 
morning from a stroke of paralysis which he suffered May 13.  At 
the time of his death and for several years past, Mr. Rowley was 
the heaviest individual taxpayer in Clarke county.  He is a 
brilliant example of a poor boy, securing his own education and 
with eternal optimism and hard work, reaching a place of 
affluence and prominence in his own community.
  "Mr. Rowley was born in Duchess county, New York, June 3, 1860, 
so celebrated his 59th birthday a few days ago, while in bed.  
Securing the necessary qualifications, Mr. Rowley entered the law 
department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and was 
graduated with high honors in March, 1884.  The name of the late 
J. B. Angell, for so many years president of that institution, is 
on the diploma he received when he was graduated.  While at the 
university he joined the Sigma Chi fraternity and always 
maintained a keen interest in it.
  "Coming to Vancouver 38 years ago, he saw here what he thought 
the ideal site of a great city, and he decided to locate here 
permanently.  Later he went into the real estate business.  
During his life he handled no less than 13 additions to this 
city.  He was progressive always and stood for public 
improvements.  A few years ago the property assessments he paid 
for one year amounted to nearly $20,000, for pavement, sidewalks, 
curbs and sewers.  He served on the city council at different 
times with unselfish motives and keen foresight for the civic 
welfare of Vancouver, which he boosted year in and year out.  
Even in trying hard times, he never lost faith in this city's 
great future and when the great industrial growth started here 
two years ago with the building of the shipyards, and other 
important industries, he was seeing fulfilled his life's dream.  
He looked forward to seeing a city here of 50,000 people before 
1930.  He was in the prime of life, only 59 and active.
  "At the end Mr. Rowley was surrounded by his family, his wife, 
Mrs. Mabel A. Rowley; daughters, Mrs. Vivian Dart and Mrs. 
Genevieve Holder, both of Portland, and Louise Rowley, aged 7.
  (Portrait inserted with caption:  "E. M. Rowley, Vancouver 
Pioneer, Who Died Yesterday.")
  "Mr. Rowley was a member of Vancouver commandery, Knights 
Templar, No. 10, and Mount Hood lodge, No. 32.  The funeral will 
be held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, June 10.  Rev. A. H. 
Thompson, pastor of the First Methodist church, will conduct the 
services at the home, Tenth and B streets, and the Knights 
Templar in full regalia will form an escort to the Columbia river 
interstate bridge and will accompany the body to the Portland 
crematorium, where they will hold their impressive ritualistic 
services."
