Notes - J.M. Bowles Dies In Kansas City
Body Brought to Laclede – Funeral Held Yesterday
Came to Linn County Forty Years Ago and Settle Near Linneus – Leaves Nine Children
Joseph Martin Bowles passed away Monday, May 23, 1932, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Burris, at Kansas City, at the age of 83 years. The body was brought to Laclede for burial and the funeral conducted there yesterday afternoon at 2:30 by the Rev. Carl Ketcherside of Nevada, Missouri, assisted by the Rev. T.A. Dowler of Laclede, and interment made in Laclede cemetery.
The deceased was born in Dewitt county, Illinois, on January 24, 1847, and in 1872 he was married to Miss Laura Kenney. To this union nine children were born, all of whom survive his passing. They are: Moses Bowles, Fort Madison, Iowa; “Hallie” Bowles, Purdin; Mrs. J.L. Davis, New Boston; Mrs. Minnie Burris, Kansas City; Mrs. W.J. Moore, Monmouth, Illinois; Mrs. O.J. Brown, Bucklin; Mrs. C.P., Purdin, Oklahoma City, and Mrs. Harry Arnold, St. Catharine and Mrs. Everett Morgan of Brookfield, all of whom were present at the funeral with the exception of three.
About forty years ago the Bowles family came to Linn county and settled on a farm northeast of Linneus, where the children all grew to maturity. The mother passed away on January 20, 1921, and for the past four years Mr. Bowles had made his home with the daughter in Kansas City. Besides the nine children the deceased leaves twenty-three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren to mourn his passing. He was one of Linn county’s well known and substantial citizens.
