OLD CITIZEN NO MORE DEATH RECENTLY OF BUSHROD WASHINGTON BOWRY
Another link to the chains of the past was broken when Mr. Bushrod Washington Bowry, aged 69 years, one of Williamsburg's best known citizens, passed away in his home on Ireland Street Sunday morning, Dec. 21, after an illness extending over several years. Mr. Bowry was a sufferer from palsy, but had only been confined to his bed a few weeks. His affliction was such that he had to practically give up his position at the hospital after having served the state faith-fully for many years. In recognition of his long service, the board some years ago practically put him on the retired list with part pay. Mr. Bowry was born in this city and nearly all of his long life was spent here. Before going to the hospital, he was for many years proprietor of a hotel here and as such was widely known to the tra-veling public. He was a faithful and true Confederate soldier, serving his state with a fidelity that was above reproach. He was also adjutant of Magruder-Ewell Camp Confederate Veterans for a number of years. His wife preceded him to the grave a number of years ago, and he is survived by the following children: Mrs. C. W. Winfree, of Norfolk; Charles B. Bowry, superintendent of schools, Burkeville, and James L. Bowry, of this city. The funeral took place from the residence Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was under the auspices of his old comrades in arms, Magruder Ewell Camp C. V., and he was laid to rest, wrapped in his uniform of gray, in Cedar Grove, the service being conducted by the Rev. E. Ruffin Jones, of Bruton Parish church.
