Centennial Edition of the Greenfield Gazette, dated February 1, 1892, Memorial Day oration delivered by Rev. John F. Moors, delivered on May 30, 1872.
Still another son of Henry BOWERS enlisted with his father and stood by his side in Co. F, 34th regiment, William J. BOWERS, a mere boy, when he enlisted, of sixteen years and one month. He died at Frederick City, Md., Dec. 8th, '64 and was there buried. One cannot but read with sadness this brief record of a brief life of seventeen years, the last twelve month passed amid the excitements of army life.
