From Proceedings, Page 1939-375:

Brother Rowe was born in Lowell February 2, 1846, and died in Boston, November 4, 1939.

Brother Rowe was well known and highly respected in business circles as a trustee.

He took his degrees in Tuscan Lodge in 1857. Dimitting in 1882 he affiliated with the The Lodge of Eleusis and was its Master in 1889-90. ln 1932 he affiliated with the Lodge of St. Andrew. He had long service in the Grand Lodge being a Grand Pursuivant in 1889 and 1891, Junior Grand Steward in 1892, Junior Grand Deacon in 1893 and 1894, Senior Grand Deacon in 1895, District Deputy Grand Master for the Second Masonic District in 1895 and 1897 by appointment by Most Worshipful Edwin B. Holmes and Most Worshipful Charles C. Hutchinson, and Junior Grand Warden in 1898.

He was the senior Permanent Member of the Grand Lodge in age and the senior in service, though he shared that honor with Right Worshipful Frank W. Kaan who was Senior Grand Warden in the same year that he was Junior Grand Warden.

Right Worshipful Brother Rowe was an earnest and devoted Mason retaining his active interest up to the very end of his long life. His old-world courtesy and kindliness made him a most delightful associate. He will be very greatly missed by those who had so long known and loved him.
