JUDGE LONDES M. BOWERS . . . In the county where he still makes his home, Judge Bowers was born May 25, 1856, on the farm of his father, John S. Bowers, an old time Republican, who is now living a retired life in Upper Sandusky. The latter was born in Richland county, this state, in 1825, and is a son of Henry Bowers, who died in 1874, and in politics was first a Whig and later a Republican. . . . The brother of our subject, Franz S. Bowers, is now managing the home farm.
The common schools afforded the Judge his early educational privileges, but the knowledge there acquired was supplemented by a course of study in the Northwester Ohio Normal at Ada, and for a time he successfully engaged in teaching. he began reading law in the office of Elza Carter, and after his admission to the bar in June, 1893, formea a partnership with that gentleman, which connection continued until he took his seat as judge. As a judge he stands deservedly high. With a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental principles of law, he combines a familiarity with statutory law, and a sober, clear judgment, which makes him not only a formidable adversary in legal combat, but also an able judge. In all the relations of life he has proved himself and earnest, honest, upright man, and a citizen of whom any community might be justly proud. Socially he is connected with the Knights of Pythias fraternity and the Knights of the Maccabees. (Smith, History of the Republican Party in Ohio, p. 774)
