The Advance July 15, 1913 (there are two death announcements for Mrs. Bowden) Last Sunday morning at 4 o'clock, the death angel visited the home of Mr. W. E. Bowden and took from it the devoted wife and mother. Mrs. Bowden had been sick over a year with that dread disease consumption and at last in spite of all that loving skill and loving attention could do she sank lower and lower and Sunday morning she passed away. Mrs. Bowden was a kind and loving mother and an affectionate wife; she was a member of the Christian Church. She leaves a husband, two daughters and two sons besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. But weep not dear friends, though our hearts bleed for you, your loss is her eternal gain. She has gone from a life of suffering and pain, from a world of sorrow to dwell upon another shore. Where all tears are washed away. So weep not, but strive to meet her up there where no more tears are shed and where no goodbyes are spoken. A friend It is with extreme sadness that we announce the death of our neighbor, Mrs. Will Bowden of Old Troy which occurred June 29 (hard to read), 1913, of lung trouble. She bore her long illness with patience and was willing to die. Mrs. Bowden was born September 25th, 1869, and came to Arkansas when she was two years old. She was married to Mr. Will Bowden August 17, 1887. Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to the family. The remains were laid to rest in Old Troy Cemetery. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
