Reporter, Emerson A. Rowley
Born to Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Rowley of Kittery, Main, a girl named Laurie Lee. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 ozs. She also served as a birthday present for her brother, Lawrence Arthur, who became 1 year old on the same day of December 17, Arthur was very lucky and the Father in Heaven saw fit that he received a 10 day leave from the ship USS Thor, which started the same day, December 17, so he was home with his family during that time. Arthur is in the Navy and is the son of Emerson A. Rowley, Eureka, California and a grandson of Hugh Thompson Rowley and Grace Davis.
Mrs. Sarah Rowley, wife of your reporter is reportedly in ill health and has been the last several months. It is the wish of this publication to extend to her our sincere wishes for a new bill of health.
