    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Maggie BOWDEN of Sharon, Pennsylvania which was taken at the Neiler & Dodd Studio in Sharon, PA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Maggie likely in her teens or 20's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Maggie and her family: Margaret Ellen BOWDEN b. 13 Jun 1859 in Sharon, PA to parents Cornelius BOWDEN (b. 12 Dec 1826 in Hickory, PA) and Abigail RAY (b. 16 Nov 1829 in Hartford, OH).
