Rev. Bruce Griffith OF the Reformed

He called to memory that an investi ga

Certificate Declaring That Mrs.
Bowers Was Subject to Heart
Disease and That She Died
Of q Ruptured Artery.

An unwarranted report was c circulated

McCollister had interfered with the
funeral of Mrs. George p. Bowers yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. McCollister had NO cause for action
and therefore took none. The funeral

as announced in Sundays EAGLE. The
services will be held in the Reformed
church, corner of Topeka avenue and
Lewis street.
Doctors Pardee, Newman and Bennett
signed a death certificate. They have
diagnosed the case and found that Mrs.
Bowers was subject to chronic enlargement
Of the heart. which caused her to have
spasms. 1t was during one of these spssms
that she ruptared an artery and by that
means came to her death.
She has suffered from this disease for the
last eight or ten years. At times she
vonld apparently be well and hearty. when
in an hour she could not bear to see any
visitor on account of her unstrung nerves.
This summer she had been to visit

ago she was taken sick and so critical was
her case considered that the doctors gave
orders that TO visitors would be admitted.
At the same time she was SO strong
in her muscles that she was able to be
about the house, and during the warm
winter evenings could walk out and take
limited amount of exercise. She had so
far recovered that visitors were allowed to
call, and the morning Of her death did
some pastry cooking which she wished to
see done especially nice. Later on in the
day she was seized with a spasm which the
doctor had said would not be fatal, but
during the spasm she burst an artery. and
after terrible strugglings she succumbed
to the stroke.
A grief stricken husband and son are
left to mourn their loss. The boy Clarence
is about 13 years of ages. The family came
to Wichita in 1887 from Lisbon. Iowa.
Mr.. Bowers is employed by Finley Ross in
his furniture establishment on North
Main street. He has always been a faith
full workman and good citizen, and dur
ing his seven years residence has made
many friends among the people. all of
whom will sympathize with him in his
sad bereavement.
Mrs. Bowers wac native Of Iowa, being
born at Lisbon on Aug. II. 1860. Her
maiden name was Carrie Cook. At the
time of her death she was over 80 years of

day his regular classes at the Chicago
Conservatory, of whose piano department
he is now the head. AS Mr.. Sherwood Is
one of the greatest American pianists, his
accession to the conservatory makes this
city the center to which students from all
parts OF the country will gladly come for
instruction, a change from past customs of
which Chicago may well be proud.
Chicago Tribune, Aug. %, 1889: "From
the opening of the musical season of 1889
80, Mr.. w. II. Sherwood, the well known
pianist, will make his home in Chicago,
having been engaged by Mr. Samuel
Kayzer, as director of the piano depart
! ment OF the Chicago Conservatory. The
| engagement is one of more than ordi-
nary Importance, and cannot fail to eXer-
else powerful influence upon the musical
life of the city, as it adds to the ranks of
resident musicians pianist who in point
of technical skill, breadth OF conception
and musicianship, is second to none in this
country. Chicago is certainly to be con-
graduated npon the acquisition of con-
cert artist aud instructor OF such rare
ability.

Their wonderful acrobatic performance

Then the cars on the main lines began to
