From the Adams County Independent, January 19, 1895: Deaths BOWERS - Dec. 26, in Lancaster county, Mrs. Susannah BOWERS, aged 77 years, 4 months and 1 day. Mother's years of affliction are over, The days and nights of distress We see her in anguish no more. She has gained her happy release. Her suffering here on earth was great, But now she is free from pain. We would not call our mother dear Back to this sinful world again. Our hearts are sad, in grief we sigh, But in submission look on high. Safe on that bright celestial shore, May we all meet to part no more. E.
