DEATH OF SAMUEL BOWLBY
Old Resident Passes Away a t the Age of 86 Years
Samuel Bowlby, for nearly a half century prominent in the business, financial and civic life of this city, passed away at his home on East Maple street last Wednesday evening, aged 86 years. The funeral took place last Saturday afternoon under the auspices of the Masonic orders, of which he had long been an active member.
He was the last member of his immediate family; his wife and three daughters having preceded him to the grave. He is survived by one brother, Dave Bowlby, now living in Oklahoma but who is in very feeble health. A. W. Blosier, of the Commercial National Bank, and S. E. Blosier, who with his wife came here a few years ago to live with Mr. Bowlby after his health became broken, are nephews.
Mr. Bowlby located in this city in 1880. He at once became prominently identified with local affairs by investing largely in city and farm property and in financial business enterprises. He was a solid, substantial man, not influenced by the frivolities and sophistries of life. He was practical, reliable and dependable. He was successful because he applied sound business principles to his undertakings. He gave freely of his time and effort in advancing those civic plans he deemed essential to the promotion of community progress and stability. Mr. Bowlby was a pleasant man to meet, and an interesting companion. He served on the city council and in other places with credit to himself and his home town. His years were long and useful and it was not until after he had passed fourscore years that he gave evidence of physical decline. For the past year he had been quite feeble.
He went to his last resting place with the respect and esteem of all who had come in touch with his life. There was a large gathering of old friends to pay the last tribute of regard at the impressive services on Saturday afternoon.
