She was married to George Bowen, Oct. 20, 1859. They moved to Illinois in 1864, and settled near Homer where the family has since lived.
Five children live to mourn the loss of this excellent christian mother. Her husband and one child, an infant, have preceded her to that better land.
The living children are: John H., Edwin L., George E. and Mrs. Anna Ray, all living in or near Homer. Deceased also leaves two brothers and one sister; also, two half brothers.
