"Written by a son in sorrow, J. B. Bowden."
"Isaiah Bowden, son of Elias and Elizabeth Bowden, was born near Cottage Grove, Tennessee, January 17th, 1845, and died in Murray, Kentucky, December 28th, 1916, making his stay on earth 71 years, 11 months and 11 days. He professed a hope in Jesus in 1870, and was baptized in the fellowship of Mt. Zion Church the third Sunday in June, 1871. He and mother were married September 22, 1870, at the home of her father, W. B. Emerson, by Elder W. A. Bowden. Father lived a consistent and faithful member until death. He left, besides mother and seven children, a host of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. Father was sound in the faith that was once delivered unto the saints, and ever ready to attend his meetings, and never gave any offense to the church. He was honest and sincere in his convictions, firm believer in the doctrine that has ever characterized the church of God on earth since the apostles' days, and when the conditional time salvation craze entered the church he stood firm, ever contending for the faith of the fathers, believing in the doctrine of salvation by grace from start to finish. He and mother walked together in sweet fellowship, a perfect oneness in doctrine and order, not only in church relationship, but at home, and now that they are gone from us, it is a source of great comfort to look back over the past and behold their devotional walk. They never tried to teach their children to know the Lord, but did teach us honesty and morality. "His funeral, which was largely attended, was preached by Elder H. N. Oliver. Burial was in Harmony churchyard. Sleep on, dear parents, and take thy rest, for in the morning of the resurrection, you, together with all the redeemed host, will arise with the likeness of Jesus, and in the New Jerusalem will sing praise to him who died to redeem us from death".
