ROWE The Rowe or Roe family is one of the oldest English surnames. Its use as Richard Rowe or Roe with the more famous John Doe as a legal fictitious name is an ancient practice.

Alexander, president of the Second National Bank died, Mr. Rowe succeeded him. He had been a director of this institution for twenty years and had much to do with the upbuilding of the bank and the development of business in Springfield. He continued in the office of president until April, 1887, when he resign- ed, owing to failing health. He was chosen a director of the Springfield Mutual Assurance Company in 1857 and he held that position until 1891 when he was elected president. He resigned the office of president in the autumn of the year before he died. His death occurred in 1896. Mr. Rowe was a Republican in poli- tics, though in later years he was decidedly independent in his views. He was a member of the common council of the city of Spring- field in 1859 and continued by re-election from year to year until 1863. He was a firm believer in the Christian religion, but not a church mem- ber, although he was a constant attendant of the North Church and manifested a life-long interest in that society. He was a member of the Winthrop Club and spent many pleasant afternoons in the club house in his later years, and enjoyed the association of many of the elder members of the club. He was kindly and sympathetic in his manner and greatly re- spected for his sterling charater and integrity. Though naturally somewhat reserved, his friends found him one of the most lovable of men. He married, in 1837, at Rockingham, New Hampshire, Susan, daughter of Dr. Isaac Doten, who survives him. She resides on Pearl street, Springfield. Their two daughters died in early life.

In 1871 he removed to Springfield and established a painting and decorating business which he successfully conducted until it was interrupted by his death. He was a man of domestic proclivities, and he made his home his club, and his wife and children his boon companions. He was a member of the Hope Congregational Church and of its Sunday school. While a resident of the North End, he attended the Memorial Congregational Church, and was a member of the parish committee. His political affiliation was with the Republican party, but he was a voter and not a political worker.

CAIRNS The family herein traced bears the blood of Black Douglas, one of the most powerful of Scottish chiefs in ancient times. From him descended William Douglas, of Cavers, Scotland, whose daughter Ellen married William Miller. Mar- garet, daughter of William and Ellen (Doug- las) Miller, became the wife of Alexander Cairns, mentioned below. Both families have been remarkable for their energy, thrift and high characters, and their descendants in Amer- ica have brought no discredit to their names. (I) Alexander Cairns lived and died at Langham, Scotland, and married Margaret Miller as above noted. They had a son and (laughter ; the latter died young.

(II) William, son of Alexander and Mar- garet (Miller) Cairns, was born in 1824 .. in Langham, and was reared to the milling and manufacturing business. He became proprietor of a woolen mill at Hawick, Scotland, where he he was identified with social and business life for many years. He married Isabella Nichols. a native of Hawick, born 1824, a direct de -- scendant of John Nichols, or Nicholson, born 1500, a member of one of the noble families who figured conspicuously among the gentry of Scotland. The family bore coat armour whose markings signified honesty and bravery. Isa- bella (Nichols) Cairns died in Scotland, in 1863, and about 1881 Mr. Cairns came to Mass- achusetts locating first in Andover, where he was connected with the manufacture of woolen goods. About 1884 he became associated with his son in the jewelry business in Boston, and retired a few years later. He died in Charles- town, in 1897. He was a member of the Pres- byterian church. He married (second) in North Andover, Massachusetts, Elizabeth Flanders, who came of old New England stock, and is living at the present time ( 1909) in Charlestown, Massachusetts. She was the mother of one son, Simon D. Cairns, a well known actor. Children of first wife: 1. Mary Nichol, a finely educated lady residing in Ha- wick, Scotland, unmarried. 2. The same is true of Ellen Douglas. 3. Margaret (deceased ), was wife of a Mr. Turnbull, a successful teacher in the schools of Hawick, and left a daughter Margaret. 4. Alexander D., mentioned below. 5. William, a farmer, residing in Eastern Ne- braska ; married Marie Martine, a sister of his elder brother's wife, who is now deceased ; left two children-Douglass Martine, born Au- gust 24, 1895, and Earle Alexander, February 4, 1893. The former graduated from the Lewis School of Roxbury, and Mechanic Arts High

School, and pursued a three years course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The latter is now a pupil of the public schools.

(III) Alexander Douglas, eldest son of William and Isabella (Nichols) Cairns, was born April 29, 1857, in Langham, Scotland, and died May 11, 1902, in Roxbury, Massachu- setts. His mother died when he was six years of age. He attended the public schools of his native city, and at the early age of thirteen years entered Edinburgh College. He remain- ed in Scotland three years after his father left there, and in 1884 came to Boston. He had previously received a thorough training in me - chanics, and on his arrival in Boston was em- ployed as a mechanical draftsman. Later he engaged in the jewelry trade, in which he was remarkably successful, becoming both a whole- saler and retailer, and for about seventeen years was widely known to the Boston trade. He seems to have been especially adapted to the business, his success being won by close application and shrewd attention to details. His activity and intense devotion to business resulted in a physical break-down, and brought about his death at the early age of forty-five years. Besides being an industrious business man, Mr. Cairns was active in various social and fraternal organizations. At the time of his death he was president of the New Eng- land Jewelers' Association, in which he had long taken prominent and active interest. He was a leader in the British and Scotch Char- itable Societies, and was chairman of the American coronation committee, organized to attend the coronation of King Edward. His death, however, prevented his participation in the duties of that committee. He was presby- terian in religious faith, and active in the Masonic fraternity, affiliating with Zetland Lodge, and rising through the various degrees of the order, and becoming a member of Aleppo Temple, Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The generous and fra- ternal principles of this order found in him an able and worthy exponent. He was a mem- ber of the Boston Athletic Association and the Victorian Club, and his early demise caused kcen regret among a wide circle of associates and acquaintances.

Mr. Cairns married, September 15. 1885, in Boston, Laura Dever Martine, born November 17, 1866, in St. Louis, Missouri ; daughter of Francis and Rose (Patta) Martine, both natives of France, and descendants of a fine ancestry. Mrs. Rose Martine was a cousin of the well known French-American family, the

2355

Girards, of New Orleans. When a young man, Francis Martine came to America and settled in St. Louis, where he became a wine importer and continued in the business for a long period. He was a native of La Chapelle, Saint-Sauveur, and after the death of his wife returned to his native land and died at a great age near the scene of his birth. Mrs. Laura D. Cairns was reared and educated in her native city, St. Louis, and came to Boston shortly before her marriage. With her husband she took up her residence in a beautiful home on Townsend street, Roxbury, where she now resides. The house is a cheerful one, and here she is rearing her children, who are being carefully educated, and she is also providing a home and education for the children of her sister who is deceased. She is a Presbyterian in religious faith. Chil- dren: I. Isabel Rose, born July 26, 1888; at- tended public and private schools, including Notre Dame and Elm Hill preparatory schools, graduating from the latter in 1908, and now resides with her mother in Roxbury. 2. Claude Francis, born February 15, 1890; graduated from Roxbury Latin and Mechanic Arts and High Schools of Boston.

He hired a part of the school land for many years, and he or his sons tended the mill most of the time during the Indian wars. The

house over the mill had a room with a chimney, and this was apparently the only house for a long period.
