IN MEMORIAM.
In the death of Dr. K. W. Rowe, we realize that Kerens and the
surrounding community has lost a worth citizen, a valuable physician
and a good man. We do not decry the passing of a friend so much, as
that is part of nature's plan, but when a man is rendering a great
service to suffering humanity, going at all hours of the day and at
night, yet always greeting his friends and acquaintances with a
cheerful word, it is indeed hard to see them go.
Dr. Rowe was honest and devoid of deceit almost to the point of
abruptness. He was a pioneer physician of this community, having
been a general practitioner for years. In this day of specializing
it is hard for the younger generation to realize just what
privations the family physician underwent in the old horse and buggy
days. He rode horseback or in a buggy the heat, cold and rain, in
the dead hours of the night for many weary miles and many times
receiving no remuneration for his labor.
The family physician's place is hard to fill. He knows the sorrows
and joys of the family—he is their confidant. He speaks a consoling
word to them in their hour of sorrow and oftentimes has sat alone
through the long hours of the night, administering to a dying
patient. Thus we see that Dr. Rowe has filled a place and performed
a service in this town and community that will stand emblazoned upon
the memory of those who knew and loved him for many, many year, to
come. C.E.W.
