Think he was a brother to William Oscar Cowman who died July 31, 1885 in Beloit. Also Samuel D.and Abigail Cowman, my husband's g grandparents, and their family lived at Beloit about the same time. We have a granddaughter & family who recently moved to Beloit--so would love to do some Cowman family research at their historical museum.
