Mrs. Jane Bowden, 74, widow of William A. Bowden, died about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at her home in Doniphan, death apparently resulting from a heart attack. She was about as usual yesterday morning and had reclined on the davenport before death occurred. A Bible on a nearby chair indicated she had been reading.

She affiliated with the Methodist church in childhood, took an active part in church affairs and served as superintendent of the Sunday school. She also was a member of Doniphan chapter No. 228, O. E. S., which she had served as matron.
