CHARLES ¹¹ HENRY ROWE ( Florence¹⁰ May Knowles, Adeline⁶ "Eliza" Wilber, Ann⁵ Maria Collins, Eliza⁴ Knowles, Mary³ Hoxsie, Elizabeth² Kenyon, Elizabeth ¹ Remington)
Charles Henry Rowe (86) was born Jan. 23, 1892 on his parent's farm in Jackson Township, Webster County, Iowa . He died Ap. 6, 1978 in Oceanside, San Diego Co. CA. "Charlie" was the 2nd of ten children born to Percy Augustus Rowe and Florence May Knowles, who lived in Livermore, Humboldt Co. IA at the time.
His paternal grandparents were Franklin Rowe (1836 - 1905)and Mary Elizabeth Noyes Rowe (1839 - 1905). His maternal grandparents were Abram Henry Knowles (1843 - 1888) Adeline "Eliza" Wilber (1843 - 1934).
Charlie spent his childhood on his parent's farm in Humboldt County, Iowa where he attended elementary school to the 4th grade. In 1907 at age 15 the family moved to Lake Park, Iowa and Charles worked as a farm laborer. This move was because there was a high school in Lake Park.
On Dec. 18, 1912 Charlie married GRACE EDNA NICHOLAS, daughter of Benjamin Nicholas (born in , Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales ) and Cora Virilla Brainard in David, Iowa. Charlie met when Grace worked as hired help for Charlie's parents on their farm. After their marriage, they lived on a farm in Dickenson County, near Lake Park, Iowa .where their three children, Ralph (my father), Dorotha and Charles Percy were born.
Children of Charles Henry Rowe and Grace Edna Nicholas:

3. Charles Percy Rowe b. Lake Park Iowa m. Minerva Gothard (div) (1 child) Profession: Dairy Worker and Custodian at Long Beach, CA high school WWII Veteran
In 1920 persuaded by his father, Percy, he sold his farm in Iowa, purchased land near Kirksville, MO and laid plans to move to Missouri. Land prices fell in 1921 and Charlie lost both farms. They rented a farm near Lake Park for one more year. Then in Jan, 1923 moved to Kirksville, MO. In March of 1923 Charlie sold the farm equipment and moved to Kirksville with Ralph, now 9 yrs. old.
John Nicholas, brother of Grace, offered Charles a job as Head Railroad Helper of a section crew on the railroad at Twin Brooks, South Dakota 12 miles from Marvin, SD. Next the family moved to South Dakota. Next he purchased a dray-line and the family moved to Marvin, SD. In 1930 Charlie sold the dray-line & moved to a farm near Marvin, SD. The winter of 1933 Charlie and family moved back to Kirksville where he worked for a light plant. Charlie and Grace finally inherited the Brainard farm, through Grace's uncle, Henry David Ross Brainard, who had no children, in Mitchell County 2 miles west of historical David, Iowa where they lived until 1956.
When they retired, they moved to Compton, CA near their daughter Dorotha Rowe Jorgensen and husband Rev. Gunnar Jorgensen. Then they moved in 1961 to the hills of Brea, CA where they lived and managed the Tinker Plant Nursery for many years, well into Charlie's 70s. In his 80s he and Grace lived with their dau. Dorotha and son-in-law, Rev. Gunnar Jorgensen in Oceanside, CA. Charlie died of a stroke. He was an active member of the Missionary Alliance Church in Brea, CA.
My grandfather was very energetic, extremely generous and had a very outgoing personality. He read the Bible nearly every evening. I have great memories of my grandparents on their farm in Iowa and their mini-farm atop the hills of Brea, CA. My grandparents and father passed on to me (Evelyn Rowe) the love of family history and a strong belief in God.
