    Rowland line from McSwain

    When I sent you info on these people, I did not have the date of death.  Just came from the cemetery and am sending these dates of death:

    Myrtle Rowland Allsup....2/25/1972

    Sarah Elizabeth (Lizzie) Rowland Jones...9/22/1975

    "Sarah Elizabeth (Lizzie) Rowland was born November 13, 1900, married Jim Jones January 11, 1919, died September 22, 1975."
    --  Shirley Mitchell, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, April 07, 2015

    Lizzie's grandson Kenneth McSwain shared memories of family members and mused about Lizzie's death.

    -------------------
    Another sister was Martha Rowland Allsup.  Her husband was Walter [Waltie] Allsup, brother of Ray Allsup, Aunt Mertie's husband.  The four of them lived near Stuttgart and ran a huge duck hunting club near Stuttgart, when I was a youngster.  Before that Uncle Ray and Aunt Mertie, lived in a big clubhouse on Cache River and ran a big fishing club there.  Ray and Mertie never had children, but Walter and Martha had a son Raymond and a daughter Linda. Walter, Martha, and my mom Connie are buried in DeWitt.

    Those 3 sisters Elizabeth, Martha, and Mertie, were 3 of the sweetest kind hearted folks I've ever known.  Aunt Roberta probably was too, but I wasn't around her as much and wasn't that close to her.  The farm you mentioned below is still in the family and is being actively farmed by a local who rents it for a portion of the crops when it's sold.  My granddad passed it on to Mom and she passed it on to me.

    Another sister was Roberta Rowland Girrard, wife of Leon Girrard, who lived in DeWitt. Leon was of French descent and had a thick accent. They had a son Charles and a daughter Juanita. All of them are now gone.

    There was also another brother, Walton, who was Shirley Rowland Mitchell's father. Her mother was Laura.

    I remember when she died, I had just gotten my first JCP store as manager the month before in Garnett KS, but of course we went home and to her funeral and burial in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. I also attended her brother Edward's funeral there.

    Lizzie's parents are buried in the woods behind the house where she and James lived on the old family place.  Her grandson Ken McSwain comments that the family farm was passed on to his mother and then to him.  He comments about those woods:
    "I used to wander around back there when we'd visit during the summer."
