Mrs. Frank Bowden
Jerusha Brindley Bowden, daughter of John and Mary Ann Brindley, was born near Boscobel, Wis., Nov. 15, 1860, and passed away at 10:45 p. m. July 31, 1922
She was married to Francis W. Bowden Sept. 24, 1885, and for several years they lived on a farm near Castle Rock, later moving to their present home near Montfort. Eight children were born to this union; three of whom, Elizabeth, Grace and Francis are deceased.
She leaves to mourn her loss her husband and children: John, Frederick, and Eliza of Montfort, Mrs. Chas. C. Ware of Milwaukee and Mrs. F. V. Ludden of Havre de Grace, Maryland, also one brother John Brindley of Boscobel, one sister, Mrs. Herbert W, Porter of Washington, D. C., and one granddaughter, Virginia Bowden of Montfort, besides numerous more distant relatives and a host of friends.
Many have offered tributes to Mrs. Bowden as a Christian wife and mother. In her devotion to her home, she exemplified the true homemaker. Her sympathy and helpfulness were not confined to her own home, however, but were extended to others. This was felt and appreciated in the community.
During her sickness and when it became known that she must undergo a dangerous surgical operation she was very courageous and willing to do all possible that, for the sake of her family, she might recover.
Though for some time home duties and failing strength prevented her attendance at church services she retained her interest in all things pertaining to the Christian life. At one time Mrs. Bowden was superintendent of a Sunday school and gave considerable time and thought to that field of Christian work.
Words appropriate to her thought and life are found in Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar". These were among her favorite verses:
"Sunset and evening star.
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell
And after that the dark
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.
For though from out this bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar."
Funeral services were held from the home Thursday afternoon, Rev. Snow officiating. Interment was made in Ebenezer cemetery.
