Bower Cemetery

This cemetery is located about 1/2 mi west of Zion Church, in Harrison Township, Mercer County, on route N, then about 1/4 mi south. Graves have been farmed over and the stones are no longer there. The road is a mile from where the graves were. Gravestone inscriptions are from all marked graves as of Mar 6, 1967. Tabulated by Joe Linn and Arthur Finney with Information provided by Barbara Bower (bbower@widomaker.com)

Editor's Notes: Adam Bower: Born in Germany
An individual believed to be this Adam Bower is listed in the 1870 Census of Decatur County, Iowa with his wife, Barbara (born in Germany) and children John age 18, born in Pennsylvania; David age 17, born in Iowa; and Adam age 7, born in Missouri. Adam Bower is listed as 58 year old farmer, born in Germany.
The same family is listed in the 1860 Census of Harrison Township, Mercer County, Missouri, as well as another Adam Bowers. Both men were born in Germany, both had wives named Barbara and both had sons named James and John. One is listed as being three years older than the Adam Bower identified above.

Adam Bower - died Oct 1889

David Bower - died May 19 1872 age 18y 8m 9d

Lorento Bower - died Apr 18 1862 age 3y 4m 18d

Martha J. Bower - died Mar 18 1867 age 1y 5m 3d

James Bower - died Aug 18 1853 age 3y 6m 9d (I think this should be 1863).
