SAMUEL H. BOWMAN, JR. - Vol III, pg 64
A practical business man with keen foresight and executive ability is Samuel H.
Bowman, Jr., president of the S. H. Bowman Lumber Company, one of the
representative business interests of Minneapolis and the state. He was born at
Cleveland, Ohio, July 24, 1887, and has been a resident of Minneapolis since
1892. His parents were Samuel H. and Anne L. (Stevens) Bowman, extended mention
of whom is made elsewhere in this work. His early education was acquired in the
public schools of this city and after attending the Hill School of Pottstown,
Pennsylvania, he enrolled in Yale, specializing in the study of law. He was
gradu­ated from that institution with the class of 1910 and immediately entered
the lumber business in association with his father. It is timely to note here
that each of the three elder Bowmans had one son; each of the sons is married
and each has one son, and the sons have succeeded to the business of their
fathers. In' October, 1915, a short time after the death of his father, S. H.
Bowman, Jr., became president of the company and he has since been active in
this connection. The other officers are: B. C. Bowman, vice president and
manager; W. C. Bowman, vice president; and Frank W. Bowman, secretary and
treasurer. The S. H. Bowman Lumber Company, with its affiliated companies, takes
care of a vast trade extending from the Gulf of Mexico to fifty miles north of
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Mr. Bowman has followed the example of his father,
and is a man of keen discrimina­tion and sound judgment, and his executive
ability and excellent management have helped to bring to the concerns with which
he is connected a large degree of success.
On the 28th of April, 1920, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Bowman and Miss
Jessie V. Stevenson and they have one son, Samuel H. (III). The religious faith
of the family is indicated by their membership in Westminster Presbyterian
church, to the support of which Mr. Bowman is a generous contributor. His
political allegiance is given to the republican party, and although he has never
sought nor desired public preferment, he is ever cognizant of the duties and
re­sponsibilities of citizenship and is a dominant factor in the promotion of
every movement to advance the general welfare. He is a member of Psi Upsilon, a
national social college fraternity of high standing, and of Phi Delta Phi, an
honorary legal fraternity. Socially he is identified with the Minneapolis,
Minikahda, Lafayette and Woodhill Country clubs of this city, the University
Club of St. Paul and the Yale Club of New York.
