IN MEMORIAM.
William h. Rowland.

Few deaths concerning the people
of Oxford and the University Of
Mississippi have occurred in recent
months that have been more deeply
deplored than that of young William
B. Rowland, second son Of DR.. P. W..
Rowland, a member OF the Faculty Of
the State University. Mr. Rowland
died October the 9th, 1918, at Gads-
den, Ala, where ne was engaged in
the drug business. He was born IN
Cofeeville, Miss, November the 4th,
1890, and came when but a little child
with his family to Oxford where MS
father had decided to locate for the
practice of medicine and to rear his
children. In the small town, noted
fo- its culture and refinement, and in
the shadow of the great State Univer-
sity, William and his two brothers
and one sister were reared William
was strong character marked for
answering devotion TO principle, OF
loyalty and patriotism, and endowed
with unusual social gifts which made
his home life particularly charming
in a family circle devoted to Their
friends and to each other.
For several weeks before the death
of his son. Doctor Rowland had been
giving his constant care and atten-
tion to the student body of the Uni
versity during an epidemic of Spanish
influenza and after having the salts
faction of seeing the institution out
Of danger he was called to the bed
side of his son who was desperately
i'll of pneumonia. Though every thing
possible was done to save the useful
young life by his attending physician,
the disease finally prevailed. The
first death to occur in the happy
family, it was hard indeed for the
devoted fathe-, mother, brothers and
sister to see the circle broken. On
April 7th, 1915, William Rowland was
happily married to Miss Katherine
Thompson, of kosciusko, a lovely
young woman to whom he was devot-
ed. To her the separation Is more
desolating and many hearts go out to
her in deepest sympathy. Especially
sad is the brothers death 10 his
younger brother, Whitman Rowland,
of the University of Virginia, since
the two in childhood had been com
Tades and playmates. II has been . sub
ject of much discussion during the
war as to the religious faith of the
youth Of our country, and il Is reas-
suring to be able TO record here that
William Rowland's death gave undis-
putable testimony Of is influence
still in the lives Of young men h
died in the full faith Of the. Christian
religion and as the hour Of dissolution
drew near, that ne caught the radiant
vision Of immortal life. Is evident in
the request Of ms young wife 10 come
and climb the golden ladder with him.
Music, praise and all lovely things
hOvered about him in death, and he
passed away with q song still warm
on his pure young lips.
A FRIEND.
