DEATH OF JOHN BOWMAN
Well-known pioneer of Davis county passed away.
John Bowman, at the age of 74, died yesterday morning at his
home in Blaine, Davis county, a home that he practically created from the wilderness and where he has lived almost
continuously for 45 years. He was among the earliest settlers in Davis county, and lived through some stirring
changes in history, but maintained the respect and to a great degree the confidence of all classes to the end.
He came originally from Scotland and stopped for a short time in the south, but early found his way to Utah and settled on the banks of the Weber in what was then called
Morristown. There he has lived almost continuously ever since. He passed through the early stirring times of the siege and battle of Morristown and in the years succeeding performed an important part in the development of the community afterwards known as South Weber, but now called Blaine.
Although he differed in many points with the majority of
his neighbors about secular and religious subjects, still he kept the respect and good will alike of all, even in the days of Utah's bitterest strife he died as he lived, a quiet brave, modest, consistent man, conscious up to the very end and thoughtful for those about him.
He was the father of Alex P., Archie, George P., William B.F. and Angus, and of Mrs. Agnes Bybee. He had two sisters
and a number of other relatives living in Salt Lake. The funeral will be tomorrow at 11 o'clock at his home in Blaine. The burial will be in Ogden cemetery beside
the wife who preceded him several years ago.
