Individual Details

Isaiah ROWE was a wealthy man residing in Mifflintown, PA. It was said that he made his money as a gunsmith or in manufacturing gunware. He was an officer of the bank there. He was a trusting and well-liked citizen. But, he signed notes for practically everybody in the township who borrowed money from the bank there, and died a poor man. His widow had to sell Isaiah's estate and the beautiful brick 10-bedroom colonial home to pay his debts after his death. It was rumored that one Roscoe NORTH, president of the First National Bank, persuaded Isaiah ROWE, a director of the First National Bank, to cosign all loans and notes - which Isaiah had eventually to pay off. He thus had actually given his wealth away, a poor business man indeed.
