Note:  This was Delilah (Ward) Bowers who had married first Levi Bates Bowers
who died in the General Hospital in Virginia while serving in the Civil War. Why she
was listed as Owens was probably an error on the part of the person who recorded
their names. She married George Washington Owen on the date mentioned above.
