MRS. LIZZIE BOWEN

Lizzie Sherman Troxel was born Jan. 31, 1865 at Fairfield, Iowa, and died Aug. 7, 1925, at 8:10 p.m. at the Polyclinic Hospital, Des Moines, Iowa, at the age of 60 years, 6 months and 6 days.

She was married to Isaac N. Bowen, June 17, 1886, at Chariton, Iowa and to this union was born one son, Clyde Troxel, in 1901, who died at the age of ten months. One adopted child, Sylvia, died in 1889.

There are three adopted children who survive, Marie Trautwein and Leith S. Bowen of Chariton, and Wade S. Bowen who is in the government hospital at Knoxville, Iowa, and three grandchildren, Pauline, Richard and Betty Trautwein.

Her husband, Isaac N. Bowen, preceded her in death on June 9, 1915. One brother, Charlie, died in the fall of 1876. Her mother died in August, 1875, and her father in May, 1905.

Besides the children there remain to mourn their loss, two sisters, Mrs. Anna Anderson, of Williamsburg, and Mrs. Mary S. Zeigler, of Sedalia, Wash., and one brother, Monroe Troxel, of Chariton.

She became a member of the Christian church shortly after her marriage and remained a member of this church and lived a consistent Christian life until her death. She was a faithful president of the Ladies Aid Society of the Chariton Christian church for years. She was a member of the Rebekah Lodge No. 33, and was among the oldest members of the Relief Corps, joining that organization on August 13, 1907.

Funeral services were conducted on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the home amid a large concourse of sorrowing friends, neighbors and relatives. The service was conducted by Rev. J. D. Pontius, after which loving hands laid this earthy tabernacle back whence it came in Mother Earth, in the Chariton cemetery, there to await the resurrection of the just.
