The Lake County Times Hammond Indiana Dec. 4, 1906

Frederick BOWE, a resident of Lowell since 1863, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George MOYER (MEYER?) on Monday Dec. 2. Mr. BOWE was born in Chautauqua County N. Y., in 1821, and at death was 86 years of age.

He was married to Miss Mary SMITH in 1846, who preceded him to the spirit land about ten years ago.

Mr. BOWE settled in Lowell forty-four years ago, where he lived for a few years, then moved to what is now
the James Lilly farm, northeast of Lowell, where he resided for twenty or more years. He was identified as
one of our best citizens, having a wide circle of friends and was beloved and respected by all who knew him.

He was a brother-in-law of Mesdames H. H. RAGON, John COX and L. G. GRAGG and an uncle of Mrs.
Frank SLAYTON, all of this city, who are the only surviving relatives he had in the community.

Funeral services will be held at the Christian Church Wednesday, Rev. Harlowe officiating
