Malvina Jane Perry, daughter of Anderson and Nancy Perry, was born April 28th, 1851 in Stark County, Illinois, near Toulon and grew to womanhood there.
April 7th, 1875 she was married to Stewart Bowers and to them was born one child, a daughter, Mrs. Leona Cloud of Julesburg, Colorado.
In the fall of 1879 she, with her huband and daughter emigrated to Nelson, Nebraska by the covered wagon route. Here she underwent the usual trials of the early settlers' wives, working diligently with her new husband to make a home in the new country. There she made her home for 45 years. In February, 1914 her beloved husband passed away, and she made her home for a time, with a grand-daughter, Mrs. Vera Turner.
In 1924 she came to Julesburg to make her home with her daughter up to the time of her decease on Sunday, June 21st, 1942.
About the year of 1882 during a revival meeting at the school house, she and her husband were converted and joined the Evangelical Church of which they continued as a staunch members and supporters for a number of years or as long as the church was in existence at that place. After coming to Julesburg she attended the Church of Christ until her health began to fail. Mrs. Bowers was a very industrious woman and never fully happy unless she was busy about the home for the comfort of her family. One of her greatest trials was that of losing her eye-sight, about a year ago and she could not busy herself in the home as she had always loved to do.
She leaves to mourn her departure, the daughter Mrs. Leona Cloud, three grand-sons, two grand-daughters, and four great grand-children; the grand-sons: Lorin Cloud, Colorado Springs, Garnet of Philadelphia, Penn., Merton of Albany, California. The grand-daughters: Mrs. Vera Roads, Martinez, California, and Dorris Woodhams, Julesburg, Colo.
We travel down a winding road,
A road without an end,
And they who seem so far away
Are only round the bend.
They face a brighter sunshine.
Softer breezes skies more blue,
And sometimes in their happiness,
They'll meet again with you;
So let not your heart be troubled--
It is true that in the end
Happiness will follow sorrow,
When you meet around the bend.
IN APPRECIATION
To the minister, the singers, the pianist, and all others who in anyway contributed to the funeral services of my mother, I express my sincere appreciation.
