Headstone Inscription: "John Bower died in the 48 year of his age"
***********************************
John was the first of our Bower family lineage to reside in America, emigrating here from Germany. He was also the one who changed the spelling of his family's name to "Bower" (and the Johannes to "John"), so as to sound more American for their new life.
