My cousin and I have been transcribing our great grandmother's diary. I just figured out who some mystery cousins most likely are. The entries in Phoebe (Bowles) Coats diary are: 24 Jan 1946 - Cousin Tom, Sue, Mary Emma, Joe and little Billie came to pay us a four day visit [to Contra Costa County, CA]. They hadn't been here for seven years. Dad met them in the bus station in Pleasanton. 25 Jan 1946 - Tom & Joe with the help of a passing stranger, fixed our telephone wires that had been broken since before Christmas. Joe went to S.F. Hard north wind. We went to Grange installation and initiation. 26 Jan 1946 - Dad and Tom's family went to S.F. Called on Hen. Tom had operation (3rd). Went to Eunice's to pick up Joe. Joe stayed to come with Eunice tomorrow. Tom called on a friend at that hospital. Home at 7:20. Beautiful day, they enjoyed the ride. 27 Jan 1946 - Eunice, Joe and Sharon arrived about noon. Bunny and Archie a little later. Will and Jack pruned grapes. Phyllis had German measles. Beck went to L.A. 28 Jan 1946 - Tom and family went back to Merced to visit Joe and family a few days more then on home. They spent Xmas in Mo. With their four sisters. Daddy took them to the bus in Livermore. According to Harry Sutcliffe, Joseph Hearst Bowles lived in Merced, CA. I also have a record of Tomas Kinsey Bowles being married to Susan Ashley. Mary Emma, Joe, and little Billie are presumably Tom and Susan's children. Tom and Joe had four sisters: Margaret, Mary, Hortense, and Lucy. I don't know who Hen. is. The others mentioned other than Dad, her husband Bethel, are her children and grandchildren. Tom and Joe didn't have a brother by that name. Tom was an M.D. so maybe he performed the operation on the 26th. There also a mention of Waltenspiel: 30 Mar 1946 - Ida Kamenerer, Edna, Mira and Walter Waltenspiel came, Ida to stay a while. The rest to bring her. Nice open day. Ed Waltenspiel was the husband of Margaret Bowles, the sister of Tom and Joe above. Could Ida, Edna, Mira, and Walter be the children of Ed and Margaret? We haven't finished transcribing the entire diary. What we have is at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~amcolan/Coats/Phoebe_coats_journal.html

Is there a connection between Joseph Hearst and Thomas Kinsey Bowles of the message title and A. E. Bowles of which you write? I don't have A. E. as a son of either based on the 1930 census. See my web page for what I have: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~amcolan/Bowles/bowles.html.
