Pioneer Woman Passes Away
Mrs. Mary Bowers, whose maiden name was Chase, was born in Oneida County, New York, May 17, 1834, and passed away at New Auburn, Wisconsin, February 18, 1914, at the advanced age of nearly eighty years.
She was married to Luman Bowers November 12, 1852, and was the mother of twelve children, six of whom are still living: Edgar N., of Rice Lake; Frank R. and Albert S, who live on farms near Chetek, and Sarah LaBell, Oscar W. and Joseph B., of New Auburn.
The family lived for a number of years in the town of Roxbury, Dane County, Wisconsin, moving to Trempealeau County about the year 1859, remaining there on a farm until Mr. Bowers enlisted and went to the Civil War, when Mrs. Bowers returned with the children to Dane County where they lived until the close of the war. They then moved to what is now the town of Auburn, Chippewa county, Wisconsin, settling in the wilderness, their house being the first one in that locality.
Mrs. Bowers was a great lover of home and family and did her full share in converting the wilds into a well tilled habitable country, raising her large family in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
The funeral was held from the M. E. Church, New Auburn, Wis., Saturday, February 21, 1914, the body being laid to rest in the Auburn Center cemetery, six miles south of New Auburn, where the husband was buried about a year ago and where three of the children are also buried.
