Mrs. D. P. Bowers.
Mrs. D.P. Bowers died in Washington, at the home of her son-in-law Frank V. Bennett, manager of the Arlington Hotel, early yesterday morning. Her illness began last Friday with an attack of laryngitis, but was not considered dangerous until Tuesday, when there were indications of heart failure. Pneumonia quickly developed. Mrs. Bowers had made her home with Mr. Bennett and her daughter, formerly known on the stage as May Bowers, since the death of her third husband, J.C. McCullom, five years ago. Arrangements for the funeral were not completed yesterday, but the interment will be in Philadelphia.
Elizabeth Crocker, known for nearly half a century as Mrs. D.P. Bowers, was born at Stamford, Conn., March 12, 1830, the elder daughter of the Rev. William A. Crocker. Her younger sister, Sarah, married Frederick B. Conway. She was an actress of distinction, and manager of the Parkand Brookly Theatres in Brooklyn. She died in 1875.
Elizabeth Crocker made her first appearance on the stage Jan. 3, 1846, at the old Park Theatre as Amanthis in "The Child of Nature." Other parts she played successfully in her youth were Phebe in "The Miller's Maid" and Lazarillo in "Don Caesar de Bazan." She was married in 1847 to David P. Bowers, a popular actor of Philadelphia, who died ten years later. After some years, she married a Dr. Brown of Baltimore, who died in 1867. Quite recently she was married to J.C. McCullom, an actor who for many years had played the "opposite" parts to her in her starring tours.
Two sons of Mrs. Bowers by her first husband are prominent hotel men.
