Mr. George Bowers, who was born in Green County, Penn., July 2, 1816, died at the home of his son, Casper Bowers, one mile east of Highwater, on January 31, 1900, at the age of 83 years.

Mr. Bowers had been in the enjoyment of fairly good health and was as well as usual when he retired at nine o'clock Tuesday evening. When called the following morning he failed to respond and on examination was found to have passed from life to death.
