He was known by virtually all his contemporaries as "G B" Bowen. He was the owner of a very large Pond, with a "good-sized" Spillway, in the Southern part of Bulloch County, on the East side of the Daisy-Nevils Road where he operated a Mill frequented by his neighbors for grinding meal. The "G. B. Bowen Pond" extended onto lands owned by his neighbors who granted him water rights for different reasons, it is said. Now, the Pond no longer exists for the Dam has been breached, and never has been repaired, due to the size and different owner of the land, I suppose.
