John Frances Bowe was born in Newark, New Jersey, the son of James and Elizabeth Young Bowe. They were both from Ireland. He married Alice Klein on 10 January 1889 in Galveston. They had two known children: Gustave and George. Alice and the two children perished in the hurricane that devastated Galveston. He married Laura Belle Frame, 26 November 1901.
He was a policeman at the time of the hurricane and tried desperately to save his family on a raft. Later he became a detective for the city of Galveston. The headstone was erected after his death and is inaccurate. Census records and baptism records on Ancestry and FSearch all have his birth as 1862. There is not Jr.
