    1. Re: [MOLAWREN-L] LOST BOWERS MILL
    2. I have heard of BOWERS MILL.. My Grandfather was born there I think it was near to where Stott City is now. YOU MAY THANK JOHN WYLIE GILBERT b. MY GRANDFATHERS BROTHER born 1878 who so patiently explained the details of the family history to me. He listed HIS birth place as the future site of Stott City. He also told me Bowers Mill was No More. His father William Crawford Gilbert built an early version of the tract homes on the prarie out by Stott City. A series of little board homes, that sold well and made a great impression on the populace of the area, My grandfather was born April 20, 1869 Actually the Gilbert children born in Bowers Mill were born from 1867 to 1876. As I said, Uncle John listed his birth place a little differently so I take it might not the Bowers Mill location but my memory tells me that Stott City is a good place to look I would be quite interested in information you find on Bowers Mill.
