 West WillingtOn. s MT. and Mrs. william ]. Bowler celebrated their silver wedding anni- versary yesterday at their home in West Wilmington. A general invitation had been issued by the couple to their friends through out the state to visit them during the day. Mr. Bowler, a son of John and Rosa Bowler, was born in Andover. When two years of age his family moved to Bolton, where he lived foret1ve years, going to Rockville at the age of 7 years. In his younger days he worked as a farmer. Later he was employed by Silas White at the Gingham mill which after short time, he left to enter the employ of the late Henry Adams at the Warp mill. Later he began dealing in cattle and real estate. In 1889 he bought out the business of w. l.. TalcOtt. The following year MT. Bowler Ob- tained possession of Crystal Lake, for whose large growth he has been per- sonaliy responsible, building up the site from mere collection of lots to its present condition. Under his man. agement new dancing pavilion and barn was built 1892 and on July 4, 1894, the Crystal Lake hotel was open ed. Several large tracts of land were then bought, which were later cut into building lots and where over 100 cottages now stand. In the year 1894 there were only two cottages. MT. Bowler. managed the Crystal Lake hotel until six years ago, when he leased his interest to Louis KOelsch. Since leasing the Crystal Lake prop erty, MT. Bowler has carried on an extensive farming and real estate business in West Wilmington. It was mainly through his efforts that tele- phone and electric light systems were installed at Crystal Lake. In his younger days, MT. Bowler was fond of athletic games, being member OA tnS 1AOCANA4S AOo6u0 DcSoSO@AA @0esAAA in 1884. He also managed the famous Shamrock nine, which gained repu- tation in baseball circles. He was married on January 5, 1896, to Miss Margaret E Brown, daughter of John A. and Emily Ruby Brown of Holland. For years the Brown homestead was noted for the genuine cordial hospital ity which always existed in this, typi- cal New England family. There are six children John, Ruby, William, Athena, Ruth and Raymond. Mrs. Bowler has the unique distinction of being the youngest granddaughter of any of the veterans of the Revolu- tionary War.
