Dr. George H Bowles Succumbs
Following Long Illness.
Dr. Charles Hall Bowles died last Friday morning, January 19, at his home on Highland Street, following an illness of several weeks.
He was born in Lakeport, the son of Charles Henry and Mary Ann (Batchelder) Bowles, May 22, 1860, and graduated from Dartmouth College with the Class of 1884. Following his graduation from Harvard Medical School in 1893, he practiced medicine in Boston for a period of about twenty years.
He was married to Miss Carolyn Blount, daughter of Ainsworth Emory and Susan (Hall) Blount of Fort Collins, Colorado on June 23, 1893. After taking up their residence in Plymouth in 1912 Dr. Bowles was elected a director of the Pemigewasset National Bank, and he became its president in 1928. He was elected a trustee of the Plymouth Guaranty Savings Bank in 1912 and was elected head the bank in 1920. Due to poor health in recent years Dr. Bowls was forced to resign his positions in both banks.
Dr. Bowles was one of Plymouth's prominent citizens and early affiliated himself with community life. He attended the Congregational Church and was an honorary member of the Rotary Club as well as being long time member of the Plymouth Lodge of Masons, having received his fifty-year membership medal last year. He took an active interest in boys and young men and for some time headed the Plymouth troop of Boy Scouts.
Survivors include his widow, two sons, Dr. Charles H. Bowles of Plymouth and Dr. George E. Bowles of Boston, and one granddaughter, Mary Ann Bowles.
Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon with Rev. John C. Prince, minister of the Plymouth Congregational Church officiating. Burial was in the family lot in Riverside Cemetery. Honorary bearers were E.J. Foster, Roy H. Spaulding, Moses A Batchelder and John Pulsifer; active bearers were Frank H. Foster, Elwin M. Smith, Preston Martin and Lawrence Spaulding, all officials in Plymouth's two banks and close associates of the deceased.
A tribute to Dr. Bowles was paid by Reverend John C. Prince at the Sunday morning services in the local Congregational Church as follows:
For many years Doctor George H. Bowles has been an outstanding figure in the life of Plymouth and vicinity. His position as president of the Pemigewasset National Bank and of the Plymouth Guaranty Savings Bank would have made him prominent, but Doctor Bowles was more than an executive of banks. He was a loving member of a fine family, a good neighbor, a loyal friend, and a public-spirited citizen. He was generous in time, service and financial support of church, charity and public enterprises. He was unusually appreciative of the services of others in the welfare of the community.
In addition to his many private interests and banking responsibilities, Dr. Bowles found time for service as Scoutmaster of the Plymouth Troop of Boy Scouts, warden of this church, trustee for a term of the New Hampshire Congregational-Christian Conference, active membership in the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and Congregational Men's Club, and for activities of his Dartmouth College Class and that of unnumbered committees for the town and community.
Dr. Bowles' kindnesses reached a host of individuals, the sick, the aged, the shut-ins, and the needy. He was one of the first among us to seek out and welcome strangers to Plymouth. He gave valuable encouragement to many people in their business problems. He was frank but wise in his counsel. He was prompt in response to the appeals for support of worthy objects. He held a large place in the appreciation and affection of his fellow-citizens. The memory of his genial spirit and his kind deeds will long abide among us to stimulate similar ideals and endeavors. Though we shall miss his presence and encouragement among us we are comforted in the thought of him as "our friend who is with God."
Among those attending the funeral services from out of town were Attorney William J. Starr of Manchester, Judge Joseph S. (Copy missing. >The Plymouth Record, January 27, 1940.
