MOTHER-IN-LAW OF POSTMASTER DEATH VICTIM

Mrs. Kate T. Bowen Passes Away After Illness of Several Months
Mrs. Kate T. Bowen, mother of Mrs. A. E. Meints, wife of the postmaster of
East St. Louis, died at the Meints home, 527 Washington Place, at 6:10
o'clock last night, following an illness of several months duration.
Mrs. Bowen, who for a long number of years had been a resident of East St.
Louis, removed to Los Angles, Cal., about 15 years ago, where she had three
daughters living.  She remained there permanently except for occasional
visits back to East St. Louis.

She came here about one year ago and was taken sick, never being able to
return to her western home.  Several months ago she was afflicted with heart
trouble and it was this ailment which caused her death on her 75th birthday.
Mrs. Bowen was a very devout member of the Presbyterian faith, belonging to
a church of the denomination in Los Angles.  While in East St. Louis at the
home of her daughter she was a regular attendant at the First Presbyterian
Church at thirteenth Street and Gaty Avenue.
She leaves to mourn her death, in addition to the daughter at whose home
death occurred, four other daughters, namely, Mrs. Oscar White, 3233 Audubon
Avenue here; Mrs. W. A. Nulsen, Mrs. J. J. Bates and Mrs. W. C. Frazer, all
three of Los Angles; ten grandchildren and tow great grandchildren.  She
also leaves a brother T. N. Gilmore and a sister, Miss Margaret Gilmore,
both of New York City.

Funeral services will be held at two o'clock Saturday afternoon from the
Meints home to Mt. Hope Cemetery. Rev. Clinton D. Bowman, pastor of the
church where Mrs. Bowen worshipped while in the city, will officiate.
