Dale-- Thanks for your research. However, the Bowman death records you found in the Missouri Archives do not match the ones I have listed. They do match another Bowman family (also Brethren) who lived in Johnson County, MO. The death records you found all pertain to this family. The Gospel Messenger entry for July 18, 1895, p. 462 listing Fannie Belle Bowman as the daughter of Elder David and Susan Bowman from the Prairie View congregation in Morgan County, MO, matches the death entry on the sheet I have. Most likely these are all children of Elder David and Susan Bowman and not the Johnson County MO Bowmans.

Does anybody have any connection to the Breathren Church in Washington State? I am researching the Wagoner's and Esveldt's and I have a diary which states that Nell Esvelt Rickard Wagoner was united with the Brethren church in Spokane Washington. Based on where in the paragraph the statement regarding the Breathren Church is .. .I would estimate the time frame to be about 1900.
