JOHN COWAN

  John Cowan died at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. 
Eicher, at Scottdale, on Wednesday, May 13th, after a short illness.  He was 
aged about 74 years.  Funeral services were held on Saturday, May 16th, with 
interment in the Versailles Cemetery near McKeesport.  John Cowan was a retired 
baggagemaster of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, having served in that capacity 
with the B. & O. R.R. for over 35 years.  Since his retirement several years 
ago, he spent the summers in Confluence and made many friends here.  His wife 
preceded him to the grave, having died here about two years ago.  Mr. Cowan left 
Confluence late last fall to spend the winter in Florida.  J. B. Coughenour was 
in attendance at the funeral.
