Mrs. Bowers was loved by all who knew her for her gentle and sympathetic nature. She was a good woman, willing all through her life, to aid in every way she could, the distressed and the afflicted. Her home duties were never neglected, and her life was full of sweet sacrifices and loyal devotion to her children, and to all who shared at any time the beautiful hospitality of her home.

Five children are living; Mrs. Susan Underhill, of Richmond, Mrs. Sarah Davis, of Greensburg, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones of Dayton, O. Mrs. A. C. Walker, and O. P. Bowers, of Hagerstown.
