James A. Mowers, 58, of Menomonie, died Monday, Nov. 30, 1998, at his home in rural Menomonie.
He was born Jan. 26, 1940, in Menomonie to Arthur and Agnes (Johnson) Mowers. He was raised in Menomonie and graduated in 1957 from Menomonie High School. He then attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout, later graduating from UW-Eau Claire.
Jim served in the U.S. Army in Germany for three years. He taught mathematics at Durand High School. He farmed for a few years in the town of Dunn, and also worked for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
