Relatives, including the aged mother and two brothers, are shocked to learn of the tragic death of Albert Bowman, who was fatally injured in a railway accident at Plattsburgh, Clinton county, Missouri, and whose death occurred in a hospital at Lincoln Nebraska yesterday morning at 5 o'clock.

The body was received at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and taken to the Freiburg morgue, where it will repose until the arrival of the son of the deceased from Washington D. C. The son started for Quincy at 6 o'clock this morning.

Albert Bowman was born at Buffalo New York thirty-five years ago, the son of Mrs. Margaret Bowman of 1816 North Fifth street and the late Joseph Bowman. He was a brother of George Bowman of the Bowman Bill Posting company, and of William Bowman, residing at Third and Oak; and Frank Bowman, residing in South Quincy.

By occupation, the deceased was a locomotive engineer, and, during the past year, had been employed on the Burlington system, working in the west with a bridge construction crew. It was while in the discharge of his duties in this capacity that he met with the accident that resulted in his death.

Mr. Bowman is survived by a wife and one son. The son, Bert, is employed in one of the governmental departments at Washington, as a stenographer.

The deceased was in the employ of the Burlington when the bridge was built across the Quincy Bay, near the foot of Broadway. During intervals when not on the railroad, he assisted his brother George in bill posting, and at the Empire theater. H was well known in Quincy, and news of his tragic death has been learned with profound regret.

He was a promising young man, and had many friends among the railroad men and others. The conductor of the train of which he was the engineer accompanied the remains to this city.

The services, which were conducted by Reverend J. B. Rogers, pastor of the First Baptist church, were largely attended, and there were many beautiful floral offerings. The pall bearers were members of the North Star Camp No. 4474, Modern Woodmen of America, of which lodge the decedent was a member.
