D.L. Bowers was reared upon his father's farm in Frederika township and when he was fifteen years of age went to Marshalltown, Iowa, where he became identified with the milling business serving an apprenticeship with Mr. Bemler and remaining until 1895. In that year he purchased land in Chickasaw county and there engaged in farming until 1905, when he bought one hundred acres on section 6, Frederika township, the old home of his father-in-law, to which he later added. He engages in dairy farming and has met with excellent success, being a practical agriculturist and a discriminating business man. In addition to this farm he owns also forty acres in Chickasaw county.
Mr. Bowers married Miss Anna Ager and they have become the parents of three children: Olive, Cyril and Grace. The parents are members of the Methodist Espicopal church and Mr. Bowers gives his political allegiance to the democratic party. He is a progressive and active farmer, and his industry and enterprise have not only enabled him to attain prosperity but have won him a high place in the respect and confidence of his neighbors.
