    Description: Article
    Transcription: SUDDEN DEATH OF W. L. ROWE REPORTED DUE TO CEREBROSPINAL MENINGITIS Well-known Lumber Merchant Stricken Sunday Morning and Died Yesterday
    -- Dread Disease Suspected from first -- One Physician said he did not know final result of diagnosis; a second refused to
    discuss case; third could not be located. Mr. W. Lewis Rowe, aged 33 years, senior member of the wholesale lumber firm of W. Lewis Rowe & Co., died at his residence, 1814 St. Paul street, shortly after noon yesterday, after a brief illness, stated last night to have been due to cerebro-spinal meningitis. The young man was stricken Sunday morning, and Dr. James C. Clarke, his attending physician, called in for a consultation Drs. Richard H. Follis and Henry J. Berkeley. Everything possible was done to aid the patient, but without avail. Thursday afternoon the physicians practically decided that that the disease was cerebrospinal meningitis, and Dr. Follis made a slight incision and drew of some fluid to have it examined. Dr. Follis stated last night that he was out
    of town all day yesterday and did not know the result of the analysis of the fluid, and referred to the other physicians. Dr. Berkeley stated that, since he had been called merely in consultation, he could not discuss the case, and referred to Dr. Clarke. The latter at a late hour last night could not be reached.
    Mr. Rowe was one of the best-known men in the lumber business, and had a wide circle of friends to whom the news of his sudden death will be a shock. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. James Chandler Rowe and was born in Norfolk, Va., his mother having been of that city. When a child he came to Baltimore with his parents and entered the public schools. For several years he represented the wholesale lumber firm of J. S. Briggs & Co., and four or five years ago he began business for himself, being assisted by his father and brother, Mr. James Chandler Rowe, Jr. About five years ago he married Miss Lucia McPherson, of this city, and has three children. Mrs. Rowe was prostrated by her husband's sudden demise and last night was in a critical condition. The funeral will take place Monday afternoon from his late home.

    W. married Lucia Houghton McPherson about 1901. Lucia (daughter of James Brock McPherson and Charlotte Ward Bates) was born on 28 Aug 1877 in Baltimore, Baltimore County, Maryland, United States; died on 21 Apr 1937 in New Jersey, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
