The fifth of seven sons of Henry C. and Lucy M.(Tappan)Bowen, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 8, 1858. He was a direct descendant, on his father's side, from the Apostle Eliot, whose name he bore.
For a year after graduation he traveled in Europe and the East. He then studied for a few months in Germany, and after his return to America became a member of
the editorial staff of the Independent, in special charge of its literary correspondence and enterprise. At the same time he pursued a course of study in political science in Columbia College, where he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1886, presenting a thesis on "The conflict between the East and West in Egypt," which was afterwards published. He also published in 1888 a volume of poetical translations of Carmen Sylva's "Songs of Toil".
He died in Brooklyn, after 6 weeks' illness of typhoid fever, on the 3d of Jan., 1890, in his 32d year. His death was particularly sad, as the previous evening
had been fixed as the date of his marriage.
