More About ORVIN EARL ROWE:

Burial: December 31, 1964, Miller's Cemetery, Silverton, Ore.

Notes for PEARL (Orvin's first wife):
Marriage lasted about 3 (three) weeks. She was a "cute little girl
running away from a convent -Orvin met her, and married her so she
wouldn't have to go back to the convent. I guess that lasted long enough
for her to find another guy, and then she was off running."
Source: Eleanor Bovee, August 6, 1978 (Orvin's sister)

Orvin's Second Wife:
Hattie Van Epps. " She already had some children and I believe Orvin met
her and married her when she was in teh late stages of pregnancy. The
child she carried was not Orvin's. That marriage lasted 2 years.
don't believe he had any children by her either. The child Hattie was
carrying- was conceived before she met Orvin, although he was born after
Orvin married Hattie. I don't know if he carried the ROWE name or not.
I rather doubt it. No one ever knew what happened to her, or where she
went. All this happened when I was just a child. "
