Was married, April 16, 1849, to Margaret O'Brien, who was born May 12, 1825, daughter of Brian and Bridget O'Brien, of County Limerick. Mr. Rowells came to America in the spring of 1849, and located in the town of Easton, Washington Co., N.Y., where he followed farming till the fall of 1854, when he moved to Wisconsin and settled in the town of Chester, Dodge Co., on his present farm, which consists of 181 acres of land, valued at about $7,000. Mr. Rowells was the first of his father's family to emigrate to America, but was followed soon after by his brother, George, and in June, 1852, his parents came over; his mother died at his house in Washington Co., N.Y., about three months after landing in America, and his father died in Chester, Dodge Co., Wis., 1860; Mr. Rowells has ten children living-George B., born Sept. 1, 1850, in Washington Co., N.Y.; Sarah, born Feb. 13, 1851 (now Mrs. Michael O'Donovan, of Chester, Wis.); John G., born March 25, 1853; Bridget Ellen, born Feb.27, 1855; Luke W., born Oct. 24, 1857 (now in the law office of H.

Frost, in Waupun); Maggie J., born July 16, 1859; Jennie A., born April 1, 1861; Mary, born Feb. 12, 1863; Dennis, born Jan. 29, 1865; Richard E., born Jan. 9, 1867; Nellie was born Jan. 1, 1870, and died the 21st day of the same month.
Obituary: "DIED - ROWELLS - In the town of Chester, Dodge Co., on Sunday, Nov 16, 1884, Luke Rowelss (sic), aged 69 years, 6 months and 6 days. The death of Mr. Rowells adds another to the list of old settlers, who one by one are entering upon that bourne from which no traveler returns. The respect with which the deceased was regarded by those who knew him best was told by the unusual large number who followed him to his last resting place and whose sympathies now reach out to the bereft family in this their hour of affliction. Card of Thanks. Mrs. Rowells and family tender their heartfelt thanks to their friends and neighbors who were more than kind to them in their time of need." (Waupun, WI newspaper, Nov 18, 1884) [2]
