" This was her home continuously for thirty-four years until 1865, when she came to Lansing with her husband, where they lived for about one year, and then made their residence temporarily with a son at Lebanon, Clinton county, Michigan. Gilbert Row died at that place September 5, 1866. Since that date, and until her death, her home was at Lansing. He was buried in Sharon, in the old family burying ground, the site of which overlooks the farm they located and cleared up. Her remains were also taken there for burial. Her oldest son, William, died in California, September 7, 1857. She leaves three sons to survive her, Myron Row of Owosso, and Samuel H. and Edwin E. Row, of Lansing.
