Rubel L. Bowman was born at Mooreville in Falls County and moved to Crosby County in June of 1906. He farmed in the Farmer and Cone communities until 1919. After the death of his wife, May Terrell Bowman, he married Miss Stella Gibson, who was teaching school at Cone.
The Bowmans moved to their farm near Lorenzo in 1919, where they lived until he was forced by illness to retire, and he turned over the farm management to his only child, a son, Rubel Terrel "Jack" Bowman.
Mr. Bowman was interested and participated in political acitivities. In the late 1920's he served as alderman for Lorenzo. As head of the local Red Cross, he was always successful in topping his quota in the annual drives. He was always first to recognize any need arising in the community and set about relieving it. A number of acres on his farm were devoted to raising of fresh vegetables, which he gave away to ones of the community around.
