The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, October 2, 1934
Abraham Bowlus, 70, well known Orleans resident, died at his home a mile west 
of Orleans Monday evening at 9:30.  He had been in ill health for several 
weeks with heart trouble but he was up and at his oil station on M-44 
northwest of Orleans every day until a week ago when his condition became 
serious and pneumonia developed.

Mr. Bowlus was born in Williamsport, Ind., March 25, 1864 and was married 
October 7, 1884.  Had he lived until Sunday he and Mrs. Bowlus would have 
celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.  They came to Michigan 25 years 
ago, locating first in Greenville and later on a farm in Ronald.  They have 
resided in their present home for the past 15 years.  Seven years ago Mr. 
Bowlus gave up active farming and built an oil station which has operated 
since.

He leaves the widow; four children, Claude, of Birmingham; Ben, of Detroit; 
Mrs. Mabel Armstrong, of Rochester; Mrs. Georgia Hulbert, of Orleans; eight 
grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Funeral serviced will be held from the home Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 with 
Rev. F. G. Wright officiating.  Interment will be at Orleans cemetery.
