ten years after his marriage he
lived in the home neighborhood.
For more than fifteen years the
home has been in Logan.
Mr.. Bowers has been known all
his life as an industrious man,
willing to do hard work, even be-
yond his strength. His one aim
has been to provide comfortable
home for himself and faTgily.
This he certainly accomplished.
The family has been permitted to
enjoy one of the beat homes in
their part of Logan.
Soon after he came to Logan he
became a member of this church
under the pastorats of j. Il. Rudi-
