Surnames: Bowling Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wg.2ADE/4654 Message Board Post: I'm looking for a newspaper article or obituary about Otto Bowling's death because of freezing to death when he missed the train and tried to walk to a friend's home nearby town in a freezing snow storm-- he was trying to get back to Quincy, Illinois from West Point, Illinois in the mid 1890's. He was a barber in Quincy and was seeking to purchase his own shop in a neighboring town. He also played the violin. If anyone knows anything about Otto Bowling from Quincy, Illinois, I'd really appreciate the information. His wife was Annie Yakle/Yackle and they had a daughter named Eva. Thanks, Marilyn
