Good Morning, our featured photo for the coming week is very interesting to say the least. What a great old photo - and it was submitted by Jennifer LeVaugh. Also Jennifer would like to correspond with anyone working on the Timothy Bowers and also the Robert Walters families. Since our featured photo is of the Timothy Arthur Bowers family, you will probably remember that Timothy owned the mill at Travers. I have always had trouble with the Travers location, but know that it was in McDowell Twp., and his mill was later called Marbut Mill. Look at our mill page for a photo of it and of the Marbut Mill - they match.   Here are a couple of important news items about the family - Mrs. Tim Bowers Dead: Mrs. Timothy Bowers of Travers, died Wednesday at Travers of a continued sickness since November, leaving her husband and children to mourn her passing. She was a very energetic woman and will be sadly missed by her family and neighbors. And in the same paper was this item - Locals and Personal: Timothy Bowers has traded his mill at Travers, to Lawrence Nickle for his farm east of Butterfield. February 3, 1917, Saturday, Cassville Democrat Since Timothy traded it to Lawrence Nickle - it must have been Nickle then that disposed of it to the Marbut family - I don't have any details on that.   Our featured photo is very interesting - looks like that there is snow on the ground with oak leaves still hanging but I don't think that is the case because this photo would have been taken before Mrs. Bowers died in 1917 so it isn't color. On the right at the bottom, the dog looks like a baby bear to me. But I am sure it is probably a dog. I have never seen an old photo with this sort of coloration - really neat. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Thanks Jenn for this great addition to our website. Much appreicated! Have a good Sunday and try and stay cool. Donna Cooper

This is a nice photo. I think you are right about the discoloring. I don't think it is snow on the ground. It also looks like the lady in the chair is pregnant. Is there another child that came along after this?
