# A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans/Biography/David Bowie

​ David Bowie. The important and solid business enterprises of Topeka today are largely concerns that have been developed slowly and carefully, the integrity of character of their founders and the foresight and intelligent management of their officials resulting in expansion and prosperity. A well known concern of this kind, the Thomas Page Milling Company, of which David Bowie is vice president and treasurer, is a business carried on with abundant capital.
David Bowie was born in Stirling, Scotland, July 26, 1869, one of four children born to his parents, Thomas and Margaret (McLintock) Bowie. In 1875, when David Bowie was six years old his parents moved to Alloa, Scotland. His father there became a man of affairs and as a lawyer held commissions under the late Queen Victoria, to serve in certain offices. He was commissioner of the poor and filled other positions of responsibility until the time of his death in 1909.
David Bowie attended school in his native land until he qualified as a teacher, after which, for two years he taught school preparatory to entering upon an apprenticeship in the Clydesdale Bank of Scotland (Limited), where he continued for three years. In 1892, when Mr. Bowie came to Kansas it was in answer to the solicitations of his uncle, Thomas Page, who was in the milling business at Topeka. Mr. Bowie became a partner in the Thomas Page Milling Company here and as manager of the merchandise department and of the financial department, he has been largely instrumental in bringing about the great prosperity that attends this important enterprise. In 1915 the company was incorporated with a paid up capital of $100,000, with Thomas Page as president, David Bowie as vice president and treasurer and David G. Page as secretary. Additionally Mr. Bowie has large bank interests. He devoted a great deal of time and helped to make a success of the Shawnee State Bank, which was organized in 1902 with a capital of $60,000, with Thomas Page as president, D. J. Hathaway as vice president and David Bowie as secretary. He is a director of the Bank of Topeka, also of the Prudential Trust Company, is secretary and treasurer of the Mills Building Company, and treasurer of the Pelletier Stores Company, which he helped to organize.
Mr. Bowie has no political tastes nor ambitions but votes as an independent republican. He was reared in the Presbyterian faith and is a member and a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church of Topeka. His name is found as a member of numerous charitable organizations and his practical generosity has been evidenced on many occasions since he has been an honored resident of Topeka. Although he has no immediate family circle, as he is unmarried, his sound conception of business principles, his conscientious acceptance of a capitalist's responsibilities, and his genial personality, make him a welcome guest at any fireside.
# A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans/Biography/Jeptha D Vawter

Jeptha D. Vawter. In the task of giving credit to the men who made Kansas, it would be difficult to single out one who was more deserving of a place among those makers and builders than the late Jeptha D. Vawter of Shawnee County. He had much to do with the early history of that county, and what he accomplished, the ideals he lived for, and the influences that emanated from his life, are still vital and quickening.
His was a long as well as a useful life. He was born in Todd County, Kentucky, July 18, 1809. By character and early training he was moulded after the manner of the pioneers, being courageous, industrious and optimistic.
About 1847 he moved to Tazewell County, Illinois, and from there in the spring of 1868 came to Kansas, establishing a home on the southwest quarter of section 33, which is in the southwest corner of Williamsport Township of Shawnee County. It was in that immediate locality that the rest of his years were spent. Mr. Vawter became an extensive dealer in cattle, and in that capacity his name was not known alone in Shawnee County, but in other counties and in other states. He prospered as a result of good judgment and foresight, and at one time owned many hundreds of acres of Kansas' best land.
He was twice married. His first wife, Sarah M. Foster, bore him thirteen children, and the ten who reached maturity are: John W.; Benjamin F.; Henry C.; Lucinda C., who married Walter Hinman; Louisa E., who married Jesse McColm; Martha C., who married John Simpson; James E.; Harriet E., who married Lewis Mead; Sabrina C., who married Mahlon F. Stout; and William J. The mother of these children died December 18, 1883. For his second wife Mr. Vawter married Louisa K. Miller, by whom he became the father of one son named Clarence D.
For years Jeptha D. Vawter was a prominent and forceful character of his community. While he toiled and prospered he was not forgetful of the duties he owed to his home, the locality in which he lived, his state or his country. He lived to see his children established in homes of their own, happy and respected, and this fact afforded him much contentment when the evening shadows of his life were merging into the darkness of eternal earthly sleep. He was a devout Christian, and politically his actions were in accord with the republican party. At the time of his death on October 13, 1894, Jeptha D. Vawter had rounded out a career of a little more than eighty-five years.

​There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test of time.
It's a custom that's been ​carried out in ev'ry land and clime. Where brother Scots foregather It's aye the usual thing. For just before they say "Good Nicht," they fill their cups and sing;
​Chorus.
Just a wee Deoch-an'-Doris A wee drap, that's a', A wee Deoch-an'-Doris, Before we gang awa' There's a wee wifie waiting. In a wee but-an-ben; If ye can say, "It's a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht Ye're a' richt, ye ken!
​I like a man that is a man, a man that's straight and fair.
A sort of man, that ​will and can in all things do his share. I like a man, a jolly man, The sort o' man, “ye know”. The chap that slaps yer back and says, "Mon Jock,” before we go.
​I'll invite ye a' some other nicht, to come and bring yer wives.
And I'll guarantee ye'll ​have the grandest nicht in all yer lives. I'll have the bagpipes skirling We'll make the rafters ring.
And when yer tired and sleepy, why I'll wake yer up an' sing:
