JOE FRANK BOWLES

   Joe Frank Bowles died at his home in Franklin Tuesday night about 10 
o'clock after two years of ill-health in which he suffered intensely.  He was 
35 years old, a carpenter by trade and a good Christian and useful citizen, 
living a quiet and unassuming life.  Moving to Franklin about ten years ago 
from the Como community in Hertford County, N.C., he married Miss Katie 
Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N.C. Edwards, who survives him, with two 
children, Herman and Katherine. Mr. Bowles was a consistent member of the 
Franklin M.E. Church, and the funeral services were conducted from the home in 
Norfleet Street Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock by his pastor Rev. R.M. 
Chandier, the interment following in Poplar Spring cemetery.  The pallbearers 
were S.R., W.C. and Emmett Edwards and C.C. Blythe, brothers-in-law of the 
deceased, R.B. Scott and M.G. Councill.
