Surnames: Rowell, Anderson, Stokes, Raysor, Risher, Smoaks, Hoffman Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ncB.2ACE/1462 Message Board Post: Press & Standard March 11, 1914 pages 4 & 7 (same on each page) Death of C.E. Rowell Ravenel, March 6, 1914. Charles Edward Rowell, formerly of this county (Colleton), but late of Ravenel, died at his home on the 27th of February having been ill for about two weeks with La Grippe. He leaves a wife and three children as follows. Mrs. R?.B. Anderson, Frank and Gaynell Rowell of Ravenel. He also leaves a sister, Miss Rowell of Round O. He was buried at Dairy Hill Cemetery at Toogoodoo. (end transcription) my notes: Is this Charles Rowell the Charles Rowell who appears in the 1880 census in the household of James Raysor Stokes and Catharine Stokes? Catharine Stokes was nee Rowell from her obituary. This Catharine Rowell Stokes is likely the sibling of James Rowell who married Jane Hoffman. After their deaths James & Catharine Rowell Stokes raised the James Rowell orphans, Alice & Margaret. Alice married Thomas Raysor Risher and Margaret married a Mr. Smoaks. Both are buried at Providence in Round O.
