I am looking for information on John Bower he came from Gursi studgard Germany in the 1870's while on ship met Fredrica Tierra and they married.  the children were William e., John II, emily and Catherine.  They  ran John Bower & Co. a grocery store on 24th and Brown in Philadelphia.  They are listed in the 1890 Philadelphia dictory but that is all the information I have.  Wm. E. was my great grand father and he moved to Nogalis Arizona and married Gretrude Haas in 1902.  Thank you for the help kathy
