MYRTLE GOWER

  HARNEDSVILLE, Apr. 3 - Mrs. Myrtle (Colflesh) Gower, aged 55 years, died at 
her home in Harnedsville Monday morning, March 26.  She was born March 13, 1890, 
a daughter of John F. and Sarah Jane (Younkin) Colflesh, of Lower Turkeyfoot 
Twp.
  Surviving are her husband, Jacob Gower, and children - Pfc. Clyde Gower, with 
the armed forces in Europe; Elsie, Paul and Dale, at home and these sisters and 
brothers: Mrs. Mary Shilling of Flint, Mich., Mrs. F. E. Wirsing, Harnedsville; 
Mrs. Stewart McClintock, Mrs. John Rodahaver, Millie Colflesh, Russell and

  Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, in the M. E. Church of 
Harnedsville, conducted by the pastor, Rev. James Bird.  Burial was under the 
direction of C. B. Humbert in the Paddytown cemetery.
  Mrs. Gower was a kind and loving wife, mother and neighbor, never too busy 
with her own affairs to help any one in need or distress.  She was an active 
member of the Methodist church for many years and will long be sadly missed in 
her home, the church and community.
