OBITUARY RECORD.
Bowman.

DR.. Andrew w. Bowman, a native of
Andalusia. and for years one of the
leading medical practitioners of DaYen-
port. died at his home in that city this
morning. Diabetes was the fatal all
ment. the end, though dreaded for
nearly two years, coming rather sud
denly. DR.. Bowman, becoming aware
OF the nature of the disease divided his
property among relatives and prepar-
ed his affairs for the inevitable which
he awaited with a resigned cheerful
ness that was almost pathetic. He con-
tinued TO respond to the demands of a
large practice up TO within a few days
of his death.
Dr. Bowman was born in Andalusia
township Jan. 10. 1S47. He was son
of the late DR.. E. H. Bowman, one of
the pioneer physicians of Rock Island
county. After obtaining such educa-
ton as the local schools afforded. he
worked on his fathers farm a number
of years. His early bent was for medi-
cine, but he did not finally determine
upon his later course till after a trip
TO Mexico during which he was forced
by circumstances to care for number
OF smallpox patients, which he did with
much success. He then attended school
at Ann Arbor and in 1873 graduated
from Rush Medical college. For a
short time he practiced in Cedar coun-
ty, Iowa, and then he came to Daven-
port, where he followed his profession
with much success for &c years.
In 1877 DR.. Bowman married Marie
Maxwell. daughter of the late DR.. A.
S. Maxwell, and the union proved an
unusually happy one The wife died
about six years ago. No children were
born to the couple. The surviving rel
ativeS are a brother E. Fl. Bowman of
this city. two sisters, Mrs. Blanche Lit
tie of Davenport, and Miss Annette
Bowman, who lives in Idaho.
DR.. Bowman, in addition to practic-
ing medicine, in which he built up a
considerable fortune only to be given
away with a freeness characteristic of
him, left a permanent impression upon
the professional and social affairs of
Davenport. All who knew him were his
friends for his sunny, generous nature
showed in every word and act.
The funeral will take place from his
home. 1888 Main street, Davenport, at
2 O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, and
