(Jacob Mullen4, Duncan Campbell3, Josiah2, William1)
Dtr of Jacob Mullen and Mary High Williams Eldridge born on the Jersey Ridge Rd. fruit farm. The street was so named by her father because it reminded him of his home in Haddonfield, NJ. She was the 7th of 9 children.
The family moved into Davenport from 3 mi. outside the city borders to 1530 Farnam St. where the children could go to school and get married.
One of her earliest recollections is seeing the Indians walk through her yard. A tree on the property bore the markings of an Indian trail, these natives would be stopping to greet members of her family.
"I had such black hair, they thought I was a papoose, and they always begged my mother to let them hold me', the sprightly little lady says.
"Mother would usually offer them a pie, fresh from the oven instead, though, and they'd be on their way,' she added. Another memorable experience for Mrs. Bawden was pushing Albert in his baby buggy across the "new" bridge spanning the Mississippi River at Muscatine.
When the Bawdens returned to Davenport in 1895, the First Presbyterian Church was located in the 600 block of Brady St. [northwest corner] Construction of the present church in what was then considered ‘suburban' Davenport (Kirkwood and Iowa) is vivid in the memory of the 90-year-old woman. When the effects of the church were transported to the new building in a procession, the Bawden's 14-year-old son, Albert, had the distinction of carrying the Bible, his mother reported. Local history also says Bix Beiderbecke carried the book.
Bicycling and canoeing were two popular sports for young married couples in Davenport. Mrs. Bawden recalls many canoe camping trips they took with M. N. Richardson, co-founder of the Morning Democrat, S. S. Smith, Wilson McClelland, C. J. Von Maur and Dr. C. J. Baker.
Jennie remembers the advent of the "horseless carriage" on Davenport streets. One of the first automobile owners was nephew Harry Ryan. Jennie recalled with embarrassment the day Mr. Ryan was a caller in their home. They looked out the window in time to see her teenage sons, Ray and Harry, and the boys' chum, Dana Waterman, taking a spin down the boulevard in the new car.
Husband George Washington Bawden graduated from University of Iowa Law School in 1880. After the death of his father in 1881, George and Jennie moved in with George's widowed sister Mary Terrill Bawden Iles at 614 E. 13th St. He joined the firm of Judge Grant and later C. A. Ficke. The Bawdens lived in Muscatine, Muscatine, IA for 13 years practicing with Allen Broomhall. He became vp of Iowa Mortgage Co of which uncle JB Phelps was president. In 1895 Jennie's father Jacob gave the couple 80 ft of land on Kirkdwood to build a home - now 511 Kirkwood. (16th St. then - name changed in 1870). George died in Exclesior Springs, Lafayette MO from diabetes at age 46.
Jennie died of myocarditis in the Davenport home of her d-i-l "AR's" wife, "Tess" Margaret Theresa Hart at 29 Edgehill Terrace. Jennie was a member of First Presbyterian Church with the 3 boys, servied 2 terms as president of the Ladies Society.
