DEATHS 

Bowden - In Hanford, Sunday, May 21, 1911, Annie Elizabeth Bowden, wife of 
  James R. Bowden, resident of California and native of Virginia, aged 60 
  years, one month and one day. 

  Following an illness of eight months or more, during which trying period the 
the hands of loved ones were never tiring in their effort to bring rellief or 
a restoration of health, if it were possible, the deceased passed away at the 
family home, 409 North Douty street, between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening, as 
the result of a pulmonary abscess, which terminated in tuberculosis. 

  Her passing takes from the bereaved household, a loving wife and kind, 
sacrificing christian mother, one whose best efforts have ever been exerted to 
bring happiness and comfort to those whom she loved. 

  The deceased was born in Isle of Wight county, Virginia, in 1851, and 
remained a resident thereof until a little over four years ago, when the 
family came to California, settling in this city, where they have resided ever 
since.  Though of comparatively short residence here, the deceased had 
endeared herself to many, and her demise is the source of deepest regret to 
all. 

  About six weeks ago it was determined by the physicians that if any 
treatment could bring about recovery, it would be that consisting of an 
operation.  She was therefore removed to the Hanford sanitarium and a very 
difficult operation was performed.  This for a time brought about a change for 
the better, but it was of but temporary character, and her strength was so 
impaired that she was unable to throw off her disease.  She passed gradually 
away, the end coming very peacefully. 

  She leaves a husband, four sons, three daughters and one grandson here, 
besides one brother and many other relatives in Virginia.  The surviving 
brother is James Whitehead, and the children are A. Elizabeth, John B., 
Eustace Q., F. Judson, Ambrose B. And Lucy A. Bowden and Mrs. J. Larry Smith. 
The surviving grandchild is Floyd Thornberry Bowden. 

  The funeral services will be held from the family home at 10 o'clock Tuesday 
morning, interment to be made in Hanford cemetery.
