Fox (Richmond, Va.: Organ Historical Society, 1991). — Born August 18, 1857 in Bristol, England; with Organ Supply Co.* of Erie, Pennsylvania, 24 years; died October 30, 1933 in Erie, Pennsylvania. *See note below. —Ed.

2015-10-14/2019-10-28 - From Organ Database Builders editor Stephen Hall, October 26, 2019. — If Rowe died in 1933, he could not have worked for Organ Supply Co. for 24 years, that firm was established in 1920 as National Organ Supply Co. and was succeeded by Organ Supply Co. in 1924. He likely started with A. Gottfried & Co. and followed other employees of that firm to one of the new supply companies formed by former Gottfried employees.
