Name: John Rowberry; Gender: Male; Birth Date: 16 Aug 1823; Father: John Rowberry; Mother: Mary Parry; Comments: Rowberry, John, presiding Bishop of Tooele county, Utah, was the son of John Rowberry and Mary Parry, and was born Aug. 16, 1823, in Bishop's Frome, Herefordshire, England. He embraced the gospel in Herefordshire, his native place, being baptized in 1840, by Apostle Wilford Woodruff, who was sent into that part of England by revelation. He emigrated from England with one of the first companies of Saints that came to Nauvoo from England, and passed through the persecutions and sufferings of the Saints while being driven from that place. Previous to leaving Nauvoo he received his blessings and endowments in the Nauvoo Temple, on the erection of which he had labored faithfully. He crossed the plains in 1849 in Ezra T. Benson's company, and in the fall of the same year moved into Tooele valley, and made his home, together with a few others, in what was then a sage-brush </I>[p.546] </I>and willow fort. He presided over the people in Tooele valley as their Bishop until the county was organized into a Stake of Zion, in 1877. He went on a mission to England in 1876, and after his return in 1877 he was chosen and set apart as the president of the High Priests' quorum in the Tooele Stake. Shortly afterwards he was ordained a Patriarch. He represented Tooele county in the legislative assembly of Utah for several years and was an active advocate for laws and principles that would benefit the people. He died at his home in Tooele April 4, 1884. The "Deseret News," in speaking of him at the time of his demise, says: "All who knew him, speak well of him as a fatherly and kind Bishop, always on hand to bless and aid the poor, and as the kind and affectionate father of a large family. His sickness was but brief, and he passed away without pain. His faith was steadfast in the truth, and he died in full hope of a glorious resurrection.".
