Mrs. Hannah Youngs King Rowland died here on Jan. 26, 1906. She was next to the youngest daughter of Rev. Ezra King, who for 34 years was pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place, and was born March 22, 1830. The house in which she as well as six others of her father's children were born, was the ill-fated Dixon house, which with its human occupant was burned on the 9th of January. The shock of the burning of that house, almost within her sight and so dear to her memory, may have hastened the collapse of her already enfeebled vitality, which resulted in her peaceful closing of her eyes upon the local scenes so near to those upon which her infant eyes first opened to the light of earthly day. Her mother was Eliza Helme, daughter of Caleb Helme, of Miller Place, and she died while Hannah was an infant of tender age. During most of the years of her childhood and youth she was kept at boarding school away from her father's home, first for several years in the school of Mrs. Miller at Riverhead, and later in New York City. While living in that city she was married, in 1848, to Joseph R. Rowland. A few years later she returned to Miller Place, in which place she has ever since made her home. Here she has been active and tireless in her devotion to the comfort of those about her. Many years in the aggregate, however, have been passed among friends in the city and elsewhere meantime engaged in ministrations of love and tenderness, which have come to the sick and weary like a hale of peace and rest falling from the gleaming of the heavenly day. A life of unselfishness, a life of trial, as life of constant service, has been hers. The experiences of life brought her peculiar trials and sorrows, but the brave and forgiving spirit which possessed her soul bore up with cheerfulness under crushing burdens. To the utmost of her strength her hands and her heart were always ready to answer the calls of suffering and sorrow that came to her notice. Truly she rests from her labors, but her works shall follow her.
