Fifty Years in Business in Exeter
Mr. R« N. Rowe on Monday cwn-
men'ced his 51st year in the furniture ,
and undertaking business in Ex- ■
eter. With one exception, that of
Dr. J. W. Browning, Mr. Rowe has
been doing business in Exeter long
er than any other’ man. Ou March 1st,. 1887, Mr. Ro WB took OV0T th 6 I
business from the late Wm, Drew.
Associated with him at that time
was Mr. Walter Andrews who dis
posed of his interest to Mr, Rowe
three years later. There has been
a big stride in business since those
early days particularly in the un
dertaking line. At that time em
balming was rarely done. The cost
ofi a funeral averaged about $25, A
high black hearse with feather s
plumes at the corners and with'
drapes on the inside and drawn by
a team o£ black horses was the first
to be used by Mr. Rowe. At first
he used a livery team and later
owned a fine team of his own. It
was in the days when the livery
business flourished and horses and
open carry-alls were used for the
mourners. In the winter open three
seated .sleighs were in common use
and many a long, cold drive has
been made over 'roads that were
heavy with snow, the occupants of
the sleighs being dressed in warm
clothing and tucked in with heavy
robes and blankets. Pit'ch holes of
ten added to the discomfort of the
drives. During the years Mr, Rowe
has kept pa'ce with the trend of the
times. When motor vehicles were
introduced Mr. Rowe was the first
in Exeter to procure a motor hearse
the picture of which appears here
with. Although it looks ancient to
US 11QW it was quite the vogue at
the time and it was a proud mom
ent when Mr. Rowe changed from
horses to the horseless carriage. It
also meant considerable investment
at that time to make the change.
It was not many years, however, be
fore it became out of date and the
more convenient and less conspic
uous hearse took its place. Mr.
Rowe has seen many,, changes dur
ing those years and it almost seems
increditable that he has committed
to their last resting place in the
neighborhood ofi two thousand per
sons. Mr Rowe has always been
active outside of his business and
continues to be interested in ’ all
that pertains to the welfare of the
municipality. He is an active mem-'
her of both the Masonic and I.O.O.
F. lodges and for years
treasurer of the C. O. F.
