Do you have a Jacob Bower in your family tree? Mine was born 1802 in MD. but don't really know where. I am from Wayne Co., OH. That is where my Jacob died. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I need some help; I think my William Bower born abt. 1840 in Ohio maybe the son of David Bower & wife Mary born in PA. in the census their children are Hannah, 1829, Mary 1831, Catherine 1838 (the name Catherine runs in my line)( William Bower 1840 Ohio which is the name of my great grand father, he married Delenia Iler, if this is my William?) Morroe 1844, Albert 1847, Adeline 1849 all born in Ohio. This was in the 1850 Ohio Census. Also in the 1850 Ohio census I found a Benjamin Bower born abt 1807 in Pa. married to a Rebecca born abt 1809 in Pa. They also had a William H. Bower born abt 1844. If either one of these William is the father of my grandfather who was born in 1874 in Ohio, they would of been about 40 years old when he was born. I can not find my connection to a William & Delenia Iler any where I look. All you cousins ever run across my William and do you think he could be the son of David & Mary Bower? Can any of you help? Please Barbara Bower Argo

I'm also in correspondence with a granddaughter of Arthur S. Bowers MD--she lives in the Boulder CO area. Arthur's son Harold is still living. Jan T

Yes, they started out as Bauer. Arthur Stephen Bowers was s/o John L. Bowers (a brother of my great-grandfather David Bower). David Bower and John L. Bowers were the only sons (out of six sons) of Stephen Gottlieb Bauer and his wife, Maria Glock. If this is your family, then you are part of my family and I want to hear more from you. I send out the Bower Family Circle to all the living descendants of Stephen & Maria Glock Bauer and would be happy to add you to the mail list. I'm working on an issue this week. We have lots of written stuff on this family, particularly David's side. But wait till you hear about the foot travels of Stephen Gottlieb Bauer in Europe and the Holy Land! And the journey to America. Janice Bower Tompkins

Jan: I just recently found my Bauers/Bowers in Freeport, Stephenson County, IL in the 1850 census. They were difficult to find there because in the census, the name was spelled "Baner"... or just looks that way to the casual eye. Do you know who the parents are of Arthur Stephen Bowers?

If anybody can give me a little insight into where this place is and if its a Town, City, District or whatever ,it would be greatly appreciated.I have looked on old maps and the internet, but to no avail, maybe the name has changed since 1844?

The Cottage is still small as far as material goes, however give us time and we'll have it filled really soon. The Cottage is at <http://bowercommunity.com/cottage>. DID YOU KNOW?... With love and romance in the air and Valentine's Day just two days away, I thought you might like to know the most accepted legend about the champion of true love and courtship... The Lupercian festival, a tribute to the God of fertility and a celebration of sensual pleasure was also a time a time to meet and court a prospective mate. Those rites, dating back to long before Christ's time, originally paid tribute to the Roman crop god, Faunus, whose festival of Lupercalia was on February 15. On Lupercalia Eve, Roman youths would draw virgins' names from an urn, then squire their chosen maiden for the fete. The main event was a ceremony in which the young women vied to be touched with sacred goatskin thongs called februa (February). Pope Gelasius outlawed the pagan celebration in 496 A.D., replacing it with a similar, morally suitable celebration. The martyred bishop, Valentine, was chosen as the "lovers" patron saint to replace the pagan deity, Lupercus. Valentine was a Roman priest about 269 A.D., during the time of Emperor Claudis. Claudius was having trouble getting men to serve in his army, sensing that many men would not volunteer to join because they did not want to leave their wives and families. He felt that if men were not married, they would be more temperamentally disposed toward soldiering. So, Claudius passed a new law prohibiting marriage. Most people felt the law was cruel, including Valentine. According to legend, after Emperor Claudius' new edict, Valentine performed secret marriages for soldiers and their sweethearts until he was discovered. He was thrown in jail and sentenced to death. Before execution, Valentine himself fell in love with his jailer's daughter. The two conducted a clandestine correspondence until the eve of his execution, when he wrote her a final letter pledging undying love and signed it "Love from your Valentine," a phrase that has lasted through the centuries. Valentine was beheaded February 14, 269 A.D. The pagan festival died out, but Pope Gelasius' hopes of people emulating the lives of saints died out as well. Instead, people celebrated the more romantic aspect of Saint Valentine's religious life. While not immediately as popular as the more passionate pagan festival, eventually the concept of celebrating true love became known as Valentine's Day. ANCESTRAL VALENTINES He was a widower of just four months with six young children to raise. He married her not for the sake of love, but to give his children a mother. Yet she saw something in him, for this 19 year old beauty married him on August 23rd, 1847 even with his large family, and gave him nine more children over their years together. They grew to love each other and grow old together. They were my great-great grandparents. He was 18 and a lumberjack living a camp life. She was 16, just 4'10" tall with blue eyes and long, golden hair full of ringlets. But she was feisty, strong-willed, and would stand up for herself and their children. They married July 4, 1884; he loved her furiously and she adored him. They were my great-grandparents. The age-old triangle ~ he loved her; she loved someone else. So, he took up with her sister. It wasn't long and they both felt the stirring embers of love take hold. He left for basic training during World War I and she wrote him everyday; he did the same to her. On December 26, 1917 he married her... just two days before departing for France, and the War. He returned to her in 1919 and they lived a love so strong that their grown children still talk about it today. They were my grandparents. He was wearing his Navy uniform, home on leave from boot camp. A young boy told the sailor that the lady across the room in the Navy dress wanted to meet him. Thus began a courtship that was to be interrupted by World War II. Two years of constant letter writing forged their love. He returned from sea duty in the Pacific in 1945 and married her just months later, that November 27th. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1995. They were my parents. I have my own story of love. However, were it not for a tarot-reading friend, a party, a beer game, a broken engagement, and a New Year's Eve date there might not be a story. But there is a story that lead up to April 6, 1968 ~ and it will be told... to the grandchildren who ask the same questions I asked of the generations preceeding me. And so it goes... a story of love for each generation... stories that are the beginning of descendants who follow. You look at their pictures, old and faded; you look at their marriage certificates ~ wrinkled, torn, yellowed. Yet behind the faces in those pictures, behind that certificate is a story... one you won't find in the marriage records, nor recorded in a family Bible. They are stories of love, laughter and triumph, sorrow and despair... stories that "you had to be there" to fully appreciate or understand. The stories of love itself don't change; only the people and their times do. And, if those eyes in a photograph could come to life just for a minute, I'm sure there would be a faraway dreamy look within them as they told the story of how it came to be that you are, and I am. Family ~ appreciating the enrichment of our seniors' stories and realizing the ultimate treasure within each one... it's what we're all about. I really enjoyed this time with you. It was so nice. Thank you for sharing it with me. I hope your upcoming week is filled with health, fun, productivity, and above all, filled with love. ) ( ) _.-~~-. (@\'--'/. Colleen ('``.__.'`) `..____.'

http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/s1.htm Enter "Brown County" (in quotes) #87 of 88 Ohio Footsteps Arthur Charles Bauer, M.D. Cincinnati, The Queen City 1788-1912, Published 1912 Pages 638-639 Transcribed by: Kimberly Graman, Dayton, OH Dr. Arthur Charles Bauer, who has been in the general practice of medicine in Cincinnati since 1893 and has also specialized to a considerable extent in gynecology, was born in this city, November 11, 180, (* this is the date listed on the bio-Fran) a son of Christian and Anna (Lechner) Bauer. His paternal grandfather, Simon Bauer, was a German architect, who left his native country to establish his home in America, settling in New Orleans. After six months, however yellow fever claimed him as a victim. His widow and their two children afterward came to Cincinnati, Christian J. Bauer being at that time about five or six years of age. He was educated in the public schools of this city and became foreman in the stereotype department of the Enquirer, which position he filled for thirty-five years, being one of the oldest stereotype men of the country and an authority upon that subject. At the time of the Civil War he espoused the cause of the Union, enlisting as a member of Company G, Thirty-fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with which he served for four years. He was wounded in both feet and was held as a prisoner of war, in Libby prison at Richmond, Virginia, for some time, but at length was exchanged. He proved a valorous, loyal soldier, never faltering in the performance of any duty whether is stationed him on the lonely picket line or sent him to the firing line. He afterward became a member of Lytle Post, G.A.R., of which he served as commander, and he also belonged to the Union Veterans legion. Fraternally he was connected with the Masons, holding membership in Miami Lodge, A.F. & A.M., of which he was a past master, while in the chapter he took the Royal Arch degree. He likewise held membership with the Tribe of Ben Hur. He died May 7, 1909, and is now survived only by Dr. Bauer, the eldest son of the family, Albert J, Bauer, having passed away. Dr. Bauer was educated in Woodward high school and in the University of Cincinnati, but ere completing his education he had entered the business world. Working at various times in different departments of the Enquirer. He first acted as assistant to the manager of the weekly and later did reportorial work but the profession of medicine attracted him and to this he directed his attention, pursuing his preliminary reading under the preceptorship of Dr. L. A. Querner. Subsequently he was graduated from the Ohio Medical College with the class of 1893 and entered at once upon general practice, opening an office in Cincinnati. He also served as assistant at clinics of Professor Frederick Kebeler and taught bandaging at the Medical College, being connected later with the clinics of the Cincinnati Medical College. He also taught materia medica at the Ohio Veterinary College and is now serving on the staff of the Cincinnati postgraduate School of Polyclinic. He belongs to the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine and is serving on its legislative committee. He is also a member of the Ohio State Medical Society, the American Medical Association and the West End Medical Association. He thus keeps in close touch with the progressive work that is being done by the profession. He is a member of the executive board and treasurer of the Ohio Miami Medical College Alumni Association of the University of Cincinnati. In 1896 Dr. Bauer was united in marriage to Miss. Minnie Hehl, daughter of Louis Hehl, of Baltimore, Maryland, a furniture manufacturer of that city. They have one child, Charlotte Alberta. Dr. and Mrs. Bauer now hold membership in the Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Watson is pastor and he was formerly a trustee in the Third Presbyterian Church. He is well known in fraternal relations belonging to Enoch T. Carson Lodge, F. & A.M., although he was made a Mason in Miami lodge. He likewise holds membership in Kilwinning Chapter, R.A.M., in Ohio Consistory, S.P.R.S. and Syrian Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S. He is filling the office of state counselor in the Junior Order of United American Mechanics and nearly every other position in that organization, including that of colonel of the Second Regiment of the Uniform Rank. He belongs also to the Tribe of Ben Hur, to the Knights of the Maccabees, the Ancient Order of Red Men, the Independent Order of Foresters and the Order of the Iroquois. In matters of citizenship he stands for all that is most helpful to the community, state and nation. He believes in teaching patriotism to young men of the country and that only such immigrants should be allowed to enter as have the qualification to become desirable citizens. He also holds that those who come here for temporary residence with the intention of only making money and no intention of identifying themselves permanently with the United States should not be permitted to furnish the competition of cheap labor with the native American labor. In a word he believes that America should be for Americans and that every citizen should help to promote the best interests of the country along those lines which work for the good of the majority.
