D. W. Ensign & Co., Philadelphia; 1880

                            TRUMAN W. ROWLY
                            
        TRUMAN W. ROWLY was born in Connecticut, Aug. 12, 1820.  He was
     the youngest in a family of six children.  His father, ISAAC, and
     his mother, CONTENT (RISLEY) ROWLY, were also natives of Connecti-
     cut.  His father being a sea-captain, TRUMAN remained at home until
     twenty-six years old, devoting the most of his time and attention
     to the welfare of the family, and working in a saw-mill and at farm-
     ing, adding materially to their comfort.  With his parents he came
     to Monroe Co., N.Y., and thence to Washtenaw Co., Mich.
        On the 10th of February, 1847, he married Miss JANE VOORHIS,
     daughter of JAMES N. and MARTHA (SWARTOUT) VOORHIS, who came to 
     Michigan in 1830.  They were formerly residents of Seneca Co., N.Y.,
     where their daughter JANE was born, Nov. 25, 1821.  She was the third
     in a family of eight children.
        To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. ISAAC TRUMAN ROWLY have been born
     seven children, viz: A. J., born Nov. 23, 1847; MARY, born March 5,
     1850; JAMES E., born Dec. 6, 1852; ALVA A., born May 6, 1855; MARTHA,
     born Nov. 3, 1857, died the same day; WILLIAM, born July 10, 1860;
     FREDERICK J., born Nov. 10, 1862.  All live in Shiawassee County
     with the exception of two.
        TRUMAN ROWLY came to Burns in 1847, and purchased the farm where
     the family now lives.  Here he resided until his death, which oc-
     curred June 3, 1870.  Mrs. ROWLY, who has caused this brief sketch
     and a portrait of her husband to be inserted in this work as a tri-
     bute of respect to his memory, is still living with her son ALBERT
     in the old home.
