MARY C. BOWMAN

  Mrs. Mary Catherine (Walker) Bowman died at her home on Route 1, Salisbury, 
Thursday morning, November 17, of a cerebral hemmorhage.  Mrs. Bowman had been 
ill for some time, but was sufficiently improved to be up and around her home on 
the day before her passing.
  Mrs. Bowman was born in Elk Lick Township June 9, 1885, daughter of George and 
Ida (Staub) Walker.  She was 64 years, 5 months and 8 days in age at her death.

married, and is survived by her second husband, Milton P. Bowman; one son, 
Charles B. White, Akron, Ohio; one brother, George Walker, Akron, Ohio; and two 
sisters, Mrs. Maggie May, Boynton and Mrs. Isabelle Holler, Akron, Ohio.  She is 
also survived by her niece, Mrs. Ida Belle Harding, who has lived with the 
family since she was seven years old, and her son, Johnny, who was like a 
grandson in the home.
  Funeral services were conducted at the family home at 2 p.m. Sunday, with her 
pastor, the Rev. L. A. McKinley officiating.  Interment was made in the IOOF 
Cemetery, Salisbury, in charge of Mortician Stanley M. Thomas.
