WILLIAM BOWEN DEAD
Superintendent of Mails Succumbed to Heart Failure
William P. Bowen, superintendent of mails, died of heart disease at his residence, corner of Hoover and Twenty-third street, last Saturday night about 7:30 o'clock. His death was so peaceful that the attendants at his bedside thought he had gone merely into a temporary sleep.
Mr. Bowen was on his annual fifteen days' leave of absence when suddenly taken ill. He left his desk at the post office last Tuesday morning, going directly to his home. Thursday morning he was so ill as to have to go to bed. He then had what was diagnosed by the attending physician as a slight attack of heart failure. He never rallied, however, and died two days later.
Mr. Bowen was superintendent of mails in this city for the last eleven years. Previous to his coming here he was in the service in Minnesota. He was 35 years old, and leaves a widow. He was also secretary of the Los Angeles Civil Service Board.
