End Came Suddenly to Aged Charlottean Yesterday Afternoon.
Death suddenly came to Mr. U. T. Bowden, a citizen of Charlotte at 5 o'clock last evening. The deceased has for 15 years been the proprietor of a shoe-shop in this city and was well known. he was near the close of his 69th year, and would have been 70 had he lived until the 18th of the present month. His widow and five children survive him.
The news of his death was a severe shock to the hundreds of people in this city who have for a long time known Mr. Bowden. He was a member of the First Baptist Church, a zealous Christian and had many of his fine characteristics which dignify a simple man in the hearts of his friends. He was at his work yesterday, as usual, but went home about 4 o'clock to his residence, 312 North Poplar street, and told Mrs. Bowden that he was in pain.
Mr. Bowden was treated with family remedies and went to his bedroom. At 5 o'clock his wife entered the room to find his body stretched in a comfortable position across the bed. Death had come to him gently and he met it preacefully and those who knew him would believe, fearlessly. No arrangements have been made for the funeral, awaiting the arrival of some members of the family who were not in the city.
Mr. Plummer A. Bowden, of Charlotte, Mr. Gilmer Bowden of Asheville, Mrs. J. H. Owen, of Charlotte, Miss Beulah Bowden of Mars Hill College and Miss Esther Bowden of Charlotte, are the surviving children. Neither Mr. Gilmer Bowden nor Miss Beulah Bowden was in the city, bu both have been notified of their father's death.
The deceased was a native of Warren County. He was a soldier of the Confederacy, being in General "Stonewall" Jackson's fighting brigade in the Shenandoah Valley campaign and in other severe war storm-centers. He came to Charlotte 15 years ago from Statesville.
