Skilton, and her birth place was Watertown, Conn, where she was born December "A, 1916. She could speak with pride of her ancestry and her relatives, for they were all honora- ble people and highly respected.
 She had more than an ordinary edu- cation, which was gained by attendance at the Troy Female seminary at Troy, N. Y. Upon completion of her school duties she entered the teachers pro- fession and for number of years was a, successful teacher On December 27, 1S42, she was united in marriage to the Rev. F. 0. Beers, of the New York East conference, who was pastor of the Methodist church at Middiebury, Conn. Tn less than five years her husband died, leaving her with two little boys. She was married the second time on February 4, 1850, to William M. Bow ker Shortly afterwards they removed to Herrick A son and daughter were born of this union. They identified themselves with the East Heriick MMethodist church. MT. Bowker died February IT, 1886.

 Her funeral was held in the church which she had so regularly attended until compelled by advanced age to stop. The services were in charge of her pastor, the Rev. Carl Councilman, who was assisted by the Rev w N. Barnes, who, as an old acquaintance and neghbor, spoke of the beautiful Christian character of the deaceased, and declared that her influence for good could never die.
