Hi all, I've been lurking in the shadows for a little while and finally decided to post my query. Hopefully somebody out there can shed some light on a little known part of my family ancestry. I am looking for Jerry BOWEN. I have an obituary for Homer BOWEN from a newspaper called "The Daily Independent" published in Grand Island Nebraska on January 19, 1959. It states that Homer Bowen was born 1/22/1876 at Vales Mill (Vinton Co.), Ohio to Jasper and Harriett Chapman Bowen (my gg grandparents). It also states that at the age of 18 (abt. 1894), he came west with his uncle Jerry Bowen who founded a drug store at Wood River. Both Homer and his Uncle Jerry were druggists. If anybody has a clue as to who Jerry might be, any assistance would be greatly appreciated as we have several siblings to Homer's father (Jasper), but no Jerry. Thanks so much Happy Holidays Carolyn Bowen McGuire
