Judge Bowen Laid to Rest
Another Civil War Veteran Laid to Rest
Successful Lawyer and Enthusiastic Temperance Worker

Adna H. Bowen was born at Adrian, Michigan, July 21st, 1842; died at Payette, Idaho, February 10, 1017, aged 74 years, six months and twenty days.

March 14th, 1862, he was united in marriage to Julia S. Babcock at Monroe, Michigan. He is survived by his widow, two daughters and one son.

He enlisted for the service of his country in Company A, 4th Michigan infantry at Monroe, Michigan, early in the spring of 1861 and was mustered into the United States service at Adrian, Michigan, June 20th, 1861. He was promoted many times for gallant and meritorious service and was discharged May 1866 with rank of Major and breast rank of Brigadier General.

He was a pioneer homesteader in Nebraska, his homestead filing in Adams county, Neb. being No 1.

He was elected county superintendent of public instruction upon the organization of the county, later filling the offices of County Attorney and County Judge; was also probable Judge in Washington County, Idaho, while residing in Weiser before coming to Payette.

During the Temperance campaign in Nebraska he was active in the Temple of Honor and Good Templars organizations, having served at the head of each of these orders. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and for the past 35 years and the last five years a member of Wm. T. Sherman Post of Payette, Idaho; also he was a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion U.S. Commandery of the State of Oregon, Portland, Oregon.

He was converted under the ministration of Major Cole, an evangelist and former Major of the 4th Michigan Infantry. He joined the First Congregational Church at Hastings, Nebraska, where he resided previous to his removal to Idaho and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church at Payette, Idaho, at the time of his death.

During his residence here in Payette, he was a man among men, and held high honors as a practicing Attorney, always attending to his own affairs, yet willing to assist in the welfare of his fellow men. His good judgment and advice will be missed by many.

The funeral was conducted from the home by Rev. M. D. Reed, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, at 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 15th. The body was escorted to the depot by the members of the G.A.R. from which place it was shipped to Boise for interment, the members of the G.A.R. taking charge at that place.
