WELL KNOWN MINISTER DIES AT HOME EAST OF FAIRFIELD
It is with sincere regret and sadness that we chronicle the passing of that
old soldier of the cross. Eld. I. W. Bowers at his home 7 miles east of
Fairfield last Monday Night after a long period of illness. Bro. Bowers
was a minister of the Primitive Baptist Faith and no more truer or better
man ever lived. He was consistent in his religious belief and thoroughly
reliable and dependable in every respect. He was about 72 years of age
and had lived for many years in this county and formed and preached to
congregations in this and Leon Counties until failing health caused him
to cease active duties.
