She was the wife of David B. Bowen who was still living at the time of her death. Residence was 232 Fourth Street, Grand Rapids. They had a son Elisha Bowen who lived at the same address. Also there was a Minerva Bowen living at the same address. Was this the wife of Elisha? Can anyone help me with a death date for David Bowen (he was 78 in 1888) or a place of burial? Also where could I write for an obituary. Any info on Elisha Bowen would be appreciated.
