Notwithstanding the fact that there
were many more powerful men, so
far as wealth and influence were con-
cerned, on request of the board of
directors of the Y. VI. G. a. he was
prevailed upon to accept the prcsI-
dency Of that badly disorganized
body. and within the course of two
or three months had, practically
single-handed, secured sufficient sub
script;ons to enable him to hand a
check to the creditor bank in full Of
the associations indebtedness.
1t was said of him that he invari-
ably lived his religion. Dogma and
creed and church edict had very little
influence on his original thinking ac-
cording to scriptural teaching. He
followed Christ's example as nearly
as it is possible for human to do. He
went into the highways and byways
to teach others about Christ. When
in Augusta he taught in and was su-
perintendent of Sunday school in
the poor factory district, which he
took care of in the afternoon after
his morning activities III his own
church and Sunday school had been
taken care Of. Later he left the
aristocrat;c city church and took his
letter to the little mission church in
the factory district when the latter
had grown to such an extent as to
claim all his religious activities.
When in Jacksonville, Florida, af-
ter performing his duties towards his
own church ID the morning he would
spend the afternoon teaching a negro
Sunday school on the outskirts Of the
city. Always has he been found in
the forefront Of civic and religious
enGeavor. battling for the right as
God gave him the power to see the
right; never shirking a duty, always
standing for the best in social and
religious life, his own life has been
an example that others might follow
with an assurance born of experience
that he lived his life as nearly as it
was possible for any other than the
Master to live this life on earth.
Unassuming, enthusiastic, opt;mis-
tic, he was always more interested in
building character than he was in
amassing wealth, believing that char
acter and worth are qualities to con-
jure with instead of riches and pow
er But with it all his was simple
faith-a faith that had its foundation
stones thoroughly entrenched in a
strong soul that knew the right and
acted accordingly. He was a strong
man in every sense of the word
kind, tolerant and true.
One of the greatest evidences of
his strength of character and sim
plicity combined was his repeated re-
quest to have placed on his tombstone
after he was gone the simple inssrip-
ton: "The world must be better be-
cause l lived in it,

JOSEPH L. BOWLES

Joseph L. Bow!es was born Nov
ember 1st, 1912. in st. Charles coun-
tv, Missouri. Born of humble par
ents, the youngest of eight children,
he was able to attend school for a
period of only two years. In 1866 ne
moved South, going TO Milledgevllle,
! Ga. where he was connected with the
tax assessors office Later he went
to Savannah. Ga. and in 1876 when
yellow fever was raging he contract
ed the disease. He at that tine own
ed planning mill and wood yard.
Shortly after that big furniture
store was formed in Savannah and ne
worked his way up to the top Of that
organization inside Of two years.
About this time, 1879, he married
Miss Julia Stubbs of Macon, Ga, and
in 1880 moved to Augusta, Ga, and
set up in business for himself under
the firm name of the J. L. Bowles
Furniture company. He remained
in business in Augusta about twenty
eight years. He was known as a
furniture man and has been in that
line Of work continuously up until
the time approaching age incapacita-
ted him. His first wife having died
in 1884 he married again three years
later. Miss May Boozer Of Newberry
S. C. He leaves behind him, besides
his widow, Joseph l.. Bowles, Jr., by
his first wife and Marion 3. and
Samuel P. oy his second and one
granddaughter, Mae, the daughter of
Marguerite, who died IN Newberry in
1910. On account Of failing health
he moved to Newbeyry, S. c., and
from there TO jacksonville, Florida,
in 1910. Finally, when his health
got much worse, he returned to New
berry, S. c.
His dominant characteristic was
moral courage. He had the courage
of his convictions at all times and was
outspoken in expressing them. When
he believed he was right nothing
could swerve him from his course. He
was always to be found on the right
side of a moral issue. His indomit-
able courage and wonderful fighting
spirit was shown when living in Au-
gusta, Ca, which was his home for
about thirty years. A political clique
had had control of the municipal af-
fairs of Augusta for ten or fifteen
years and had practically bankrupted
the city's treasury and ruined its
credit. The c;ty's bonds were all
but worthless. He was one Of the
leaders who formed themselves into
an organization that in the space of
FIVE or six years dethroned the polit-
ical oligarchy which had been bleed
ing the people for years and set the
community on its feet financially. The
growth of Augusta can be tracec
from the time when the politica
power in question had been dethron,
