FRANK W. BOWMAN - Vol III, pg 69-70
One of the representative young business men of Minneapolis is Frank W. Bowman,
secretary and treasurer of the S. H. Bowman Lumber Company, of which he has been
general manager since his father's resignation, on the 9th of May, 1923. He was
born in Odebolt, Iowa, the son of Bradley Clayton and Sarah Elizabeth (Hyder)
Bowman, further mention of whom is made above.
In the acquirement of an education Frank W. Bowman attended the Hill school at
Pottstown, Pennsylvania, and later entered the Tome School at Port Deposit,
Maryland, graduating with the class of 1911. Subsequently he pursued a course in
the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce and was graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania with the class of 1915. On the 1st of January of the following
year he became connected with the S. H. Bowman Lumber Company as treasurer and
in October of that year was also made secretary. His business career, however,
was interrupted because of the entrance of the United States into the World war
and he enlisted in the navy. He was assigned chief storekeeper at the Naval
torpedo station, Newport, Rhode Island, and in that connection he was chief
clerk under the paymaster and assistant to Lieutenant-Commander John W. Morse,
who was supply officer at Newport. After receiving his honorable discharge he
returned to Minneapolis, resuming his position with the lumber company.
Mr. Bowman married Miss Vera Meneilly on May 22, 1918, and to their union one
son has been born, Bradley Clayton (II). The religious faith of the family is
that of the Methodist church, to the support of which Mr. Bowman is a generous
contributor. His political allegiance is given to the republican party. and he
is a close student of the living issues of the day. During his university days
he became affiliated with the Phi Upsilon fraternity and he is identified with
the Minneapolis, Athletic, Minikahda, Lafayette and University Clubs, the last
named organization being located in St. Paul.
