ISAAC J. BOWMAN
Isaac J. Bowman of French Township is a representative of
the self-made men, having achieved success in life through
his untiring energy, diligence, and close application to his
business affairs. A son of Gideon Bowman, he was born in
French Township, Adams County, Indiana, January 25, 1847.
A native of Pennsylvania, Gideon Bowman wended his way
westward to Indiana when young, settling in Adams County.
He subsequently bought 120 acres of land in French
Township, and with true pioneer courage began the
improvement of a homestead.
Laboring day in and out, he cleared the farm on which he
and his wife spent their remaining days. He married Alice
Sutbine, a native of France, and they reared a family of six
children, as follows: Isaac J. of this sketch; Angeline,
deceased, was the wife of Henry J. Derr; A. M., living east of
Decatur, Indiana; Elizabeth, wife of Dr. E. P. Davenport of
Craigville, Indiana; Lauretta, wife of Frank Randall of
Lancaster Township, Wells County; and Nettie, widow of
Charles Shaffer.
Spending his early life in French Township, Isaac J. Bowman
was educated in the district schools, and on the home farm,
where he lived until twenty-one years old, acquired a varied
and practical experience in the science of agriculture.
Ambitious and enterprising, he then began the struggle of life
for himself by buying forty-four acres of land in French
Township, and running in debt for a part of the purchase
price. But, with the resolute spirit of sturdy manhood, Mr.
Bowman set to work with a determination to succeed, and
ere many years had slipped by he had not only cleared his
farm of indebtedness, but had added to its original acreage
by purchase, and now has a finely improved estate of 245
acres, on which he is carrying on general farming and stock
raising after the latest approved methods.
Mr. Bowman has been twice married. He married first Anna
Houck. She died in early womanhood, leaving one son. Van
Bowman, a farmer in Monroe Township. Mr. Bowman married
for his second wife Maryette Urick, and to them four children
have been born, namely: Josephine, wife of Art Baumgartner
of Decatur, Indiana; Mary, living at home; Harvey, also living
with his parents; and one child died in infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowman are valued members of the Zion
Church and generous contributors towards its support.
Politically Mr. Bowman is an active and useful member of the
Democratic Party, and though not an aspirant for official
favors has served as township supervisor.
