I've "rescued" an old photograph identified only as "Mrs. BOWERS" which was taken at the F. K. Frasier Studio in Burlington Junction, Missouri. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Mrs. BOWERS likely in her 50's or 60's at the time. Based on limited research I was able to find a possible match in census records as follows: 1880 census of Hughes, MO: Chas BOWERS, age 39, a Tanner, born MI, parents born NH Elizabeth BOWERS, wife, age 37, Keeping House, born SC, parents born PA I'm hoping to locate someone from this BOWERS Family in Nodaway County so that the photograph can be returned to her family. If you are a member of this BOWERS Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
Sorry, I wish I could claim it. My Chas Bowers was born in Rockwall, TX, his grandfather was in CSA during the Civil war, enlisted in VA and moved to Texas after the war. Here is his CSA tombstone: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSmid=48056252&GRid=48106320& I am also a findagrave volunteer photographer: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&GSmid=48056252&GRid=48106320&MRid=48056252& Thanx for asking about the Bowers' photograph.
