1. I AM CONTINUING TO SEARCH FOR THE BURIAL PLACE OF MY GGF, STROTHER MCGINNIS BOWMAN, AND GGM, HANNAH ELIZABETH (BETTY) BRANDENBURG BOWMAN, WHO DIED IN WISE COUNTY. I HAVE A COPY OF A LETTER FROM THEIR DAUGHTER MOLLY BOWMAN DATED DECEMBER 9, 1888, WRITTEN BACK TO RELATIVES IN KENTUCKY. ..."MA DIED FEB 22, 188(3) OR 188(8). SHE WAS 52 YEARS OLD. SHE WAS BURIED AT THE GREEN WOOD GRAVE YARD IN WISE COUNTY..." IT WAS WRITTEN TO THE BRANDENBURGS. I HAVE LETTER FROM ANOTHER DAUGHTER WHICH STATES THAT BOTH STROTHER AND BETTY DIED ON THE SAME DAY. I HAVE SEARCHED THE GREEN WOOD CEMETERY WEBSITE WITH NO LUCK. THE INDIAN CREEK SITE WOULD NOT COME UP. ANY SUGGESTIONS????? 2. MY CONTINUING QUESTION IS WHY DID THE BOWMANS COME TO WISE COUNTY?? THAT'S A LONG VENTURE FROM KENTUCKY. I FOUND SOME BRANDENBURGS IN AN ADJOINING COUNTY. STROTHER WAS A VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAS (UNION) SO MAYBE HE RECEIVED LAND. YOUR WISE COUNTY WEBSITE IS GREAT AND I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. NANCY BOWMAN STEINBACH
