"Mrs. H. C. Bowman - Laid to Rest in Lexington Cemetery After a Long and Useful Life."
Mrs. Henry C. Bowman, who died last Wednesday morning at her home on Parker's Mill Road, was buried in Lexington Cemetery this morning. Rev. Dr. Sims, of the High Street Methodist Church, conducted the service at the house and offered a short prayer at the grave.
Elizabeth Reed, wife of Henry Clay Bowman, was born in Harrodsburg, KY. She was educated at Goodwin Institute, now Beaumont College and graduated with the honors of her class forty-six years ago. April 1, 1861, she married H. C. Bowman. For Forty years she lived among the people who knew and loved her, and her long life was devoted to the welfare and happiness of others. The distressed never appealed to her in vain for comfort, nor did the needy ever leave her home without assistance. To her loving husband and a family of eleven children she left as a heritage the memory of a noble Christian character and hundreds of sorrowing friends attested by their grief her worth as a woman and a friend.
