| Text | Mrs. Louisa J. Bower, passed away Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, at the home of her son, J. M. Bower, at the age of 69 years, 4 months and 19 days. She had been an invalid for a number of years and for the past nineteen months she has been helpless and confined to her bed. Rheumatism had been the principal trouble and she had suffered greatly. Death was welcomed by her as a relief from the intense and almost continual suffering. Mrs. Bower had been a resident of Cassville since 18__ , with the exception of a short time when the family lived near Mineral Spring and for a short time at Purdy. Her husband, Jacob Bower, departed this life, Nov 14, 1899. Louisa Jane (Talbert) Bower was born June 27, 1846, in Shelby County, Ind. There she grew to womanhood and was married to Jacob Bower. To them three children were born, three sons. Two died in infancy, J. M. Bower of this city being the only child living, and now the only member of the family. She was a sister of the late William Talbert of this city. She leaves two living brothers, Sylvanus of California and Madison Talbert of Shelby County, Ind. She was converted in early life and united with the United Brethren Church in Indiana. Upon moving to the country, there being no church organization of that faith here, she united with the M. P. Church and later with the Presbyterian church of the city and died a devoted member of that church. "Aunt Lou", as she was familiarly known, was beloved by all who knew her. She was devoted to home, church and family. With her passing a good mother has gone to her reward. Rev. E.W. Love conducted the funeral Wednesday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church and her body was laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. Research Note: In 1880 they were still living in Shelby County, IN. |
