	Mr. S.F. Bowden died at his home in Ray City Monday a.m., October 2, 
1933.  His health had been bad for a year or more but was able to be up until 
just a few days before his death.  In the passing away of Bro. Bowden we have 
lost an esteemed citizen, a friend to all men, a friend to the church, a friend 
to God.  We extend our sympathy to the bereaved.
	May the God of love and mercy comfort their broken hearts, and cause 
them to rejoice in his eternal gain.

children were born.  Seven of which are still living.  Mrs. Bowden died in the
