Notes
a. Note:   Notes by M. E. Rowan Wilford Hall "Doc" Rowan was, despite the nickname, not a doctor (like his father) but a pharmacist. He and his wife Virginia Strahan Rowan were also talented musicians who had their own vaudeville troupe, the Dixie Funmakers, which traveled the South. Their son Wilford Thomas "Bill" Rowan, in an unpublished autobiography, recalled his family's life on the road.
  Virginia always said Doc had "itchy feet." Bill, a serious big band jazz buff, described Virginia's ragtime piano as worthy of any band of the day. Doc played cornet, saxophone, violin, mandolin, drums, and a little piano. The two had a charming husband/wife clown act, daughters Hazel and Jackie were a song-and-dance act, and little Bill played cornet and drums and was "Chief Curtain Puller." For awhile they traveled with Jethro Almond's tent vaudeville show. As vaudeville gave way to moving pictures, they switched to running moving-picture shows, then returned to pharmacy.
  He operated drugstores in Wiggins MS, Bogalusa LA, Wrens GA ("Rowan's Drugs"), and Hampton SC (Stanley's Drugstore).
