Elizabeth Bowden.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bowden died Wednesday (February 26, 1919) at 12 o’clock following 
a prolonged illness.

The remains were shipped to Rising Star where interment took place at one 
o’clock today.

Mrs.(Didama) Elizabeth Nowlin Bowden was born July 6, 1838 in Bedford county, 
Tennessee. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Nowlin, who made their 
home in Tennessee until 1870 when they moved to Moreland, Arkansas. On June 17, 
1858, she was married to W. S. (William Sebastian) Bowden of Arkansas. About 
twenty years ago they moved to Texas, locating in Brown county. About three 
years ago Mr. Bowden died in Rising Star and Mrs. Bowden moved to Brownwood to 
make her home with her son, A. F. Bowden and family, where she died yesterday. 
She was a devout member of the Methodist church and when her health would permit 
was a regular church attendant. She was a sweet Christian character and one who 
was ready to face her Master. She leaves two daughters, and four sons and a 
large number of grandchildren to mourn her loss. The children are Mrs. J. N. 
Green of Amarillo, Mrs. P. V. Gibson of Amarillo, W. J. Bowden of Eastland, M. 
T. Bowden, W. C. Bowden and A. F. Bowden of Brownwood.
