Reference description (sent with every page)
A farmer and orchard foreman at Mars Hill, Worcestershire, who converted to the restored gospel after Wilford Woodruff visited his home. He died in February 1849 at age 64, leaving Ann Jewell a widow with seven young children.
Life stages
The same William Rowley at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.
Ages William Rowley to each empty stage — about a minute per stage, drawn once and reused in every book.
