Personal History
For many years, George William Rowe was the Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Rossville, Indiana. When the principal of the local school was called up into the service, George was asked to take over that job also. He spent the rest of his career doing both--pastor and educator, often principal--all at the same time.
