He married, first, by 1895, Sarah McGuirk.

He married, second, on Jul 7,1900 at Templeton,MA, Nellie M Farnum. She was born on Aug 22,1862 at Peterborough,NH, a daughter of Joseph Farnum and Mary A (Emerson) Farnum. Nellie died in Boston,MA on Apr 24,1941. There is not record of a divorce, and Nellie Bowen is listed as married at her death in 1941.

He may have married, third, Geneva Thayer. It is not clear whether or when Faxon and Geneva married and subsequently divorced. A Faxon Bowen's WWI Registration places him in Brooklyn, New York, aged 42 in 1918, with no mention of a wife. Nellie (Farnum) Bowen did not die until 1941, so it is possible there was never a marriage to Geneva.

He married Rose (Critelli) Uberti sometime before 1936. His name appears on her stone.

Faxon Bowen became Mayor of North Adams,MA, and was a 66 year old widower (Nellie having died in 1941) when he married, fifth, in 1942, Audrea Milner. See the news article regarding this marriage here.

Children(by first marriage): Faxon DeWolfe Bowen.

Children(by third marriage): Merritt Bowen, Lincoln Bowen, and Louise Bowen O'Brien(wife of Clarence Lorenzo O'Brien).
