j. T. Bowman

The passing of ]. T. Bowman is distinct loss not
only to Chesterhill and locality but also to the
county and even in the state at large MI Bowman
had statewide reputation for his work in developing
the strain of Merino sheep. Morgan county mas a
national reputation for the high grade Merlno WOOL
and no small part of the credit is due Mr.. Bowman
But it is not alone matter Of wool grower that
lie was outstanding in the banking business, with
which he had been for years, but also
as citizen of the highest type. Joe Bowman was al
ways found on the right side of every worth while
movement He of modest quiet disposition,
ever stunning publicity always kindly, consid-
crate and courag geous.
People like Joe Bowman are needed in the world
today and let hope that his example may serve to
make others follow his footsteps. His memory will
always be beloved.
