Bowen, Theodore, (page 1308), one of the principal farmers of Lake 
township, settled there in 1861, buying eighty acres of land. The subject 
of this sketch was born December 17, 1838, in Onondaga county, New York. 
His parents' names were Isaac and Lucy Bowen. His youth was spent on the 
farm and at the common schools. After arriving at maturity he was wedded 
to Augusta Monroe, of Oswego county, New York, and they have two children: 
Isidore, now Mrs. C. T. Webster, of this township, and Estella. In 
September, 1864, Mr. Bowen enlisted in the 184th regt., N. Y. Vols., and 
served till the close of the war. In 1871 he was elected town treasurer, 
which office he held for nine years consecutively, and has also been 
treasurer and director of school district No. 6 several terms. While the 
Baptist church represents his religious views, his wife is a Methodist in 
belief.
