Tinda According to the "Cemetery Census of Erie County, Ohio Before 1909": West End Cemetery, Berlin Twp.: BOWLS, Thomas J. d. March 10, 1849, age 59 years. There are no other BOWLES/BOWLS in Berlin Township cemeteries before 1909. As far as the Censuses go, many people even today, avoid the Census. They all have their reasons, however, I would be suspicious of him being missed in 2 consecutive ones! Carol
