Bowman Reunion
Sunday, Sept. 30, a reunion of the Bowman family assembed at the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. David Bowman, (the homestead of J. H. Blacker) about 3-1/2 miles 
southwest of South Bloomfield.  The day was an ideal one; nature shed forth her 
beauty and gave evidence of her reverence to Deity.  About forty assembled to 
honor the name of their most estimable parents and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Samuel Bowman, of Washington township, (now deceased).  Among those present 
were, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Christy, Columbus; Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Groce and 
family, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bowman, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Tompkins and family, 
B. H. Spayth and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Spayth and family, Mr. and Mrs. 
Jacob Huffer and family, all of East Ringgold; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Cookson and 
daughter; Mrs. William Klingensmith and son, of Circleville; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. 
Bowman, of Stoutsville; Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Howard and daughter and Miss Etta 
Hanna, of Harrisburg, Ohio.  After all had assembled and engaged in a pleasant 
and cheerful handshake, the good ladies announced dinner, which is 
characteristic of the culinary art, peculiar to the Bowman family.  They cannot 
be surpassed in this most tasteful art.  A portion of the dinner and ice cream 
having vanished in a satisfactory manner, the photographer then turned his 
camera on the crowd and obtained a picture of them just as they were looking 
their best.  Evening came and they all left the scene with happy hearts, 
wishing that the reunion of friends on earth may prepare them for the great 
reunion in Heaven.
