Final Rites for
Beloved Plymouth Woman.
A wave of sorrow swept over a wide circle of friends when they learned that Mrs. George H. Bowles had suffered a sudden illness and slipped away in a brief hour with her son at her bedside early on Thursday morning.
At the age of eighty-four with failing strength and eyesight, the active mind of Mrs. Bowles was constantly searching for outlets for her generous nature. A business man was heard to remark that it was a secret between him and Mrs. Bowles how many baskets he filled to deliver among the ill and shut-ins. She quietly performed her numerous charities unbeknown to others.
Her Congregational church was her chief concern. In recent months she provided a large metal safe to preserve the records and historical treasures. When her hearing dimmed, she realized the necessity for modern devices and installed audio instruments in the auditorium. During the past summer she published the historical booklet, "The Story of the Old White Church" and gave the amount of its sales for a fund to provide books for the church reading table. The gilded cross that stands in the chancel will be a perpetual reminder of its dedication to the memory of her husband and now of her.
As a citizen she was ready assist in projects that her Pemigewasset Woman's Club promoted. Her counsels were constantly sought, her judgment was sound. One of her pleasures was to keep the grounds of her home a beauty spot near the center of the village. Her flowers and shrubs always conspicuous in their trimness.
Friends recall the artistry with decorations at the holiday seasons within her church and how her nimble fingers and trained eye for color rapidly arranged vases and baskets with cut flowers for every occasion. Her collection of hand painted china that she created was the envy of all of her friends.
The many companions of her two sons while they were growing to manhood will never forget the happy days at her camp on Little Squam Lake. The sandy beach was their swimming shore, the large motor boat their sailing craft, the rumpus room their sports center. The societies of the church, Rotary Club, or social groups recall her untiring hospitality. Truly her sons and their companions rise up to call her blessed.
Carolyn Ellsworth Blount was born on June 13, 1873, at Cleveland, Tenn., daughter of Ainsworth Emory and Susan (Hall) Blount. Her father was a teacher and soon moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to become a professor at the State Agricultural College where Mrs. Bowles spent her girlhood. She came to live with her aunt in Meredith at high school age and graduated at Plymouth Normal School in 1891. While here she met and married Dr. Charles H. Bowles on June 23, 1893 who was practicing his profession in Boston. After the parents of Dr. Bowles required his assistance in the management of his business affairs, they returned to Plymouth to make their home.
Two sons and families survive, Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Bowles of Plymouth and daughter, Mrs. Laren Pitcairn of Philadelphia, Pa., and Dr and Mrs George E. Bowles of Providence, R.I.
On Saturday afternoon her pastor, Reverend Deane L. Hodges officiated at a brief service at her late home, attended by her many friends. Her casket was blanketed by floral tributes and baskets and sprays covered the walls of her living room. Burial was in the family lot in Riverside Cemetery, with Gammons Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Bearers were Dr. Charles Kinney, Selectman William Driscoll, Watson A. Rand, Kenneth Bartlett, Raymond Tilton and Paul Durgin.
