    3. Two daughters of Daniel and Harriet (Schrock) Bowser married Sellers. Harriet Bowser (1863-1940) married William Edward Sellers (1868-1897) Jan. 14, 1890. It appears they had 5 children. (1) William Clarence b. Oct. 2, 1890; (2) Edward Bruce b. Nov. 8, 1892; (3) LAWRENCE FREDERICK SELLERS b. Mar. 26, 1895 (4) Mamie, b. June 28, 1897 (5) Alva, born 1898. Susan Bowser (1869-1936) married John P. Sellers. It appears they (or she) had only 1 child- FREDERICK L. SELLERS b. 1894 or 1895. The Poorbaugh family history says they had a son named John, but according to both the 1900 and 1910 census, Susan only ever had one child. "Fredie" in 1900 and "Frederick L." in 1910. Both women were widows by 1917 when apparently both sons registered for the draft in June, 1917 in District 2 (Selbysport), Garrett County, Maryland. Both women and both of their husbands are buried on the old Peter Bowser home farm cemetery south of Addison, PA.
