Bower, who married Charles L. Williams, was the daughter of Milton E. Bower and Sarah L. Teeter. Hattie was more than likely born in the Town of Lansing, in Tompkins County, New York, as most of the Bowers lived and worked there at one time and many still do. I have Jesse and Alan as Hattie's brothers. She could have had more siblings. I have several Edward Bowers whose birthdates do not come close to 1892. I have on Edward Bower whose birthdate I do not know, nor do I know the birthdate of either of his parents, although I would guess that that family was a lot earlier than Hattie's family. Please let me know if you have additional questions about the Bower families of Lansing. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
