James B. Keating, one of the
oldest and in length of service perhaps the very oldest
employee in the Locke Insulator Factory, died at his home on Covill street on
Sunday, July 21st. His death was a shock to his

learned that work in W. D. Newton's factory here, where he began work when he
was a boy less than 12 years of age. For more than 25 years, he had worked in
the Locke factory, where at the time of his death he held the position of
shipping clerk. His sterling qualities and pleasant even disposition won for
him the high esteem of his townspeople, and many friends will miss him.
Besides his wife, Mrs. Nellie McMahon
Keating, the surviving relatives are a daughter, Hilda,
a son, Gordon, three brothers, John,
Jerry and Michael, all of Victor,
and two sisters, Mrs. Katherine Kerry and Miss Nora

PROMINENT VICTOR PHYSICIAN DIES IN A ROCHESTER
HOSPITAL
Charles Andrew Rowley, M. D., long
a highly esteemed and successful practitioner of
medicine in this village, died in Genesee Hospital, Rochester, about 7 o'clock
this morning. Dr. Rowley had not been in the best
of health for some time. He was taken more seriously ill Saturday night, and
was removed to the Rochester hospital, where he had seemed to be improving up
to the hour of his death. He passed away while eating breakfast, probably from
cerebral hemorrhage.
Survivors are a daughter, Mrs. Ross Gunn,
who was unable to be with her father in his last days
because she, herself, was ill, and a grandson, both of Washington, D. C., two
brothers, Clark B. and George D. Rowley, of
Rochester. Mrs. Rowley, who was Miss
Stella Power, died several years ago.
Charles Andrew Rowley was a son of
Franklin and Jeanette Wilder Rowley,
and was born in Victor, January 13, 1863. He attended the public schools and
the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in Lima. He entered the Cleveland Medical
College and graduated from that institution, March 10, 1888, returning to
Victor, immediately to begin the practice of his profession. His many
patients, recalling today, his long time ministrations to themselves and their
families, will feel a deep personal loss in his passing. His place in the
community was that of a man of the highest integrity, of flexible stand for
what he believed to be right, of generous helpfulness in causes which appealed to
him as for the benefit of the community.
Dr. Rowley was a member of
the New York State Medical Society, the Western New York
Medical Society and the Ontario County Medical Society. He was for several
years health officer of the Village of Victor, and filled that position at the
time of his death. He was an active worker and an officer of the First
Presbyterian church in Victor. Funeral arrangements had not been completed
when the Herald went to press.

NELSON L. LOBDELL, JR. AND THREE
OTHERS LOSE LIVES AT CANTON CROSSING
Sorrow fell with crushing force upon this community, shortly
before noon, Wednesday, as it became known here that Nelson
L. Lobdell Jr., and three other young men had been instantly killed at
about 9 o'clock that morning, when an automobile in which they were riding was
struck by a fast New York Central train at the Gouverneur street crossing in
Canton, N. Y.
Nelson, a St. Lawrence University
junior, and one of his college friends, Raymond J.
Beardsley of New Berlin, N. Y., had started out to hitch hike to Nelson's
home in this village for the Thanksgiving recess.
A third student, Wheeler B. Anderson
of Bridgeport, Conn., was on his way to spend the holiday with a sister. The
driver of the car, Amos Goodbout, 25, picked the
boys up to give them a lift to DeKalb Junction, where he was employed as a
garage mechanic. Goodbout attempted to stop his
car when he saw the train, but the road was wet, the wheels skidded and the
car came to a halt on the tracks. The crossing, which is just outside the
corporation limits of Canton, has been the scene of several bad accidents and
is scheduled for elimination. Bob Gillis, a St.
Lawrence student, and C. J. Cushman of
Syracuse, with whom Gillis was riding, witnessed
the accident and notified the Canton authorities.
Nelson L. Lobdell, Jr., was
born in Japan, December 26, 1909, while his parents, the Rev.
and Mrs. Nelson L. Lodbell, were
Universalist missionaries in that country. With the exception
of a visit here when he was about four years old he lived in Japan most of the
time in Shidzuoka, until the Fall of 1920, when the family returned to this
country and remained in California for the Winter. Since the Spring of 1921,
his home had been in Victor. After graduating from Victor High School with
honors, he became a student in St. Lawrence University in Canton, from which
institution his father was graduated in 1900, and he had made good progress in
his studies there. He was a charter member of Rho Chapter of Phi Pi Phi
fraternity, a member of the Mathematics Club, and was on the staff of the Hill
News, the Bubble and the Gridiron.
In Victor, Nelson took an active
interest in many affairs, including school athletics. He was popular among his
schoolmates and
made many friends among the older people. Besides his parents,
he is survived by a sister, Miss Marian E. Lobdell,
who is a sophomore in St. Lawrence University, and by an aunt, Miss
Marion F. Lobdell.
Funeral services will be held in the First Methodist church in
this village at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Burial will be made in
Boughton Hill Cemetery.

CHURCH FUNERAL FOR STUDENT ATTENDED BY MANY FRIENDS
Accompanied by two of his fraternity brothers, William
Ellis and Peter Falter, the body of Nelson L.
Lobdell Jr., came home,
Thanksgiving Day, from Canton, where on the previous day he
and three other young men had passed swiftly through the portal which we
call death.
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock the First Methodist Church
was filled by the many friends who gathered to express by their presence at
the funeral services their own sorrow and their sympathy for the bereaved
family. A profusion of beautiful flowers gave their message of life that
springs anew, persistent and triumphant from hidden roots, and we mourned
not as those without hope.
Dr. Atwood, dean of the Canton
Theological School, and the Rev. Arthur P. White
of Syracuse spoke the words of comfort and faith, their messages following
Scripture readings by the Rev. John V. Mills of
the First Presbyterian Church of Victor. Dr. Atwood
paid high tribute to Nelson, both as a student
in St. Lawrence University and as a young man of good principle and high
ideals.
Among those attending the funeral were the
Rev. C. C. Blauvelt of the First Universalist Church of Rochester and
Students Ellis,
Falter, Wood, Casano, Lapointe and
Lapointe, Denning and Zornow of St. Lawrence University.
Services in memory of Nelson and
Raymond Beardsley and Wheeler Anderson, the two other St. Lawrence
students who lost their lives in the same accident, were held in Memorial
Chapel at the university, Thursday morning. Nelson's body was laid at
rest in the Boughton Hill Cemetery.
