ERNEST J. ROWE FAMILY

Ernest J. and Eleanor Rowe moved to Naperville on March 7, 1944, to manage a dairy farm owned by Arthur G. Rapp, who lived in Cicero, Illinois. This farm consisted of 105 acres, bordered on the north by Hobson Road, on the east by Wehrli Road, on the west by the Charles Goodrich farm and on the south by the Rott farm. Today 75th Street runs though the south end. He managed the farm from 1944 until June 1, 1957, when Mr. Rapp sold it, due to illness, to John Fry. Ernest and Eleanor moved into town on North Washington Street, and he became a mailman until his retirement.

They have three sons, Lawrence, Richard and Carl.
