THE WORK OF THE REAPER
Dabney M. Bowles, a native of Marion county, passed away at two-thirty o'clock at St. Elizabeth's hospital where he had been taken about week ago suffering with an infected toe and foot. A minor operation was performed and for a time he seemed to be making progress toward recovery, but his age, 80 years, seemed to cause the trouble to be hard to remedy and he grew worse rapidly toward the end.
Mr. Bowles was one of the thirteen children of Dabney Bowles, one of the real pioneers of the county and was born on the farm where Mrs. Wilfred Bowles and children make their home, and had spent practically all his life in the Fabius community, living for the past several years with his niece, Mrs. Wifred Bowles, and family, taking the place of a father and counselor in the home after the death of his nephew some time ago. He is survived also by a daughter, Mrs. J. A. Taylor of St. Joseph, and his sisters, Mrs. Margaret Loudermilk of Lewistown, Mrs. Warren Beckett of Wichita, Kansas, Mrs. Charles Scott of this county and a brother, Joseph Bowles of Emerson.
He was a devoted member of the Emerson Christian church, also had been given the U. D. C. Cross of Honor and was a man whose infiuence in his commmunity will he much missed.
