Biography
When Rowe died suddenly in 1913, he left a considerably large estate without a will. His widow, Nellie Buckley, and his family in Germany were co-heirs. His sisters Julia, Lina, and Sophia, along with his late brother Frederick's two children, sued his widow for their portion of the estate. His German relatives were unhappy with the court's division of the assets and filed an appeal. After World War I started, his widow claimed that due to his German relatives being "enemy aliens", they could not challenge the ruling, but their right to appeal was upheld by a court of appeals.
Rowe is a German architect.
