J. F. Klucker, the interment being in Lloyd’s cemetery by the side of his wife who died in 1875. The funeral was well attended, not only by the relatives of the deceased but also by the descendants of many who more than 50 years ago had first become acquainted with him as an honest and competent miller of the Tibbott Mill, a mile south of Ebensburg. In this community there are none who were not the friends of Mr. Rowland, as their sympathetic demeanor at the funeral amply testified. Mr. Rowland came of a race of millers, who in Wales and America, had few equals and no superiors, both as regards sterling honesty and capability. His brother, David Rowland, was also a miller and a nephew, Evan Jones, is now running a large mill near Dilltown, Indiana County. The two sons of the deceased, Isaac of Iowa City, and Evan, Sheriff of Johnson County, Iowa, accompanied the remains of their father to Ebensburg to pay their last sad duty to their loved parent. Also a nephew Isaac Rowland, son of David Rowland. Death of Mrs. Winifred Moore Aged Ebensburg Lady Dies at the Home of Her Niece – Mrs. Mary V.
