Cemetery:           W.A. Brown Cemetery

John Bowles

Patterson

Unknown

There is an inscription on John Bowles upright stone (the one my wife is
standing by) that says in memory of John Bowles and the other stone is lying
flat at the base of the upright one with the inscription again.   So, yes there
are two stones and it appears that the one at the base is newer and put there to
preserve the wording which is almost worn away on the vertical stone.

John Bowles
Who was massacred by
Indians Oct 28, 1869
Born in Virginia
Feb 13, 1802

The inscription at the base of the monument (which says it was put at the
cemetery in 1947 by Mr.& Mrs. Traynor of Sabinal) calls this the W.A. Brown
Cemetery.  In some literature we found in researching Mr. Bowles,  a great
granndson of his stated that Boles was killed by the indians and is buried in a
private cemetery he called the "Old Patterson Cemetery " on the  Patterson
settlement"   -  perhaps this had been the name for this property in the past.

Standing by the tombstone is Gay Luczkowski a descendant of John Bowles
