In Memory of Paul Vernon Bowman (December 1, 1905 – March 25, 1937)
Born in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, Paul V. Bowman led a life that was short but well-engaged with his community. Known for his success at Morgan's Grove Fair Premiums, where he won awards for his exquisite sweet pickled melons, rusks, and table pumpkins, Paul was a figure whose achievements were celebrated by those around him.
He married Dorothy Inez Moler (referred to as Inez D. Bowman on the tombstone) at the Methodist Church in Charles Town, West Virginia, on April 24, 1926. The couple shared nearly 11 years together before a tragic incident ended Paul's life prematurely.
Employed as a scaler for the Standard Lime and Stone Company's limestone mine in Martinsburg, Paul's responsibilities included clearing loose rocks and debris from mine walls. Tragically, he was struck by a falling stone on the night of March 25, 1937, which led to his instant death. The incident was mourned by many, including two of his coworkers who were also injured in the same event.
Paul's funeral, held on March 28, 1937, was conducted by Reverend Dr. Giles Granville Sydnor at the Charles Town Presbyterian Church. He was laid to rest at Edge Hill Cemetery, where his grave still stands as a testament to a life that, while ordinary in many respects, still held moments of distinction.
The shared gravestone with his wife and the mystery surrounding the incomplete details of her life and subsequent marriage leaves a complex legacy that continues to intrigue those who stumble upon their resting place.
Here lies a man whose life, filled with simple joys and tragic ending, is a poignant reminder of the human stories etched in stone within our cemeteries. May his soul rest in peace.
