Henry Bowman, father of D. G. Bowman, was born April 6, 1817, in York county, and had the best educational advan- tages afforded in the agricultural districts. He was reared a farmer, and in 1854 he married Barbara Goodyear, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Goodyear. In 1853 he bought a fine farm, located one mile north-east of Churchtown, and engaged in a butchering business, with John Paul, carrying on this business some fourteen years. In 1868 he bought another farm in the same township, but never removed to that place, having a tenant settle there. Mr. Bowman did considerable live stock dealing, both in buying and selling. He was a man of ample means and much business ability. His life was ended by accident, a tree falling on him, while in the forest in South Mountain. He was survived by his widow and his one child, D. G. Bowman, of Monroe township. (from History of Cumberland County, Pa.)
