Robert, I located Emma Cassie Bowen's obituary at the Macomb Eagle web site. http://www.eaglepublications.com/xyz.jhtml?DB=dbase/dbase&DO=display&ID= 986588107_26763 In case the above doesnt come up automatically, use this link. Emma Cassie Bowens obituary was published on 04/05/2001. http://www.eaglepublications.com/obituaries.html Newest obituaries http://www.eaglepublications.com/obituaries2.html The Macomb Journal does also maintain an archive of obituaries & news stories, but I did not find Emma Cassie Bowens obituary on their site. The Journal does not always enter all which are published in the newspaper. However, the McDonough County Historical Society maintains an ongoing index card file of obituaries which is housed at the Macomb Public Library on South Lafayette Street in Macomb.
