BOWLING, J. A.
(30 Jun 1930, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
F. M. Sloan Called by Death of Dr. J. A. Bowling, Age 73.
F. M. Sloan, of west of the city, departed yesterday for Alva, to which
place he was called by the death of his brother-in-law, Dr. J. A. Bowling,
73, who passed away Thursday morning at 2 o'clock.  Dr. Bowling had been
ill for about six weeks of an infection, which baffled nearly a dozen
physicians who were called into the case.  The nature of the infection,
which produced Dr. Bowling's death, never was ascertained.
Dr. Bowling had practiced medicine in Alva for approximately 30 years.  He
was a well-known and highly respected citizen of that community and had
rendered a great service there.  For a number of years he served as
surgeon for the Santa Fe railroad.  Dr. Bowling had been a member of the
Presbyterian church for 45 years.
Surviving is the widow and two children, Mrs. Mary Wagner, of Waynoka, and
Lloyd, an electrician, of Alva.  Funeral services were to be held Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
