"George D. Bowers died at Burlington Flats, November 27, 1906, aged seventy-two years. He was born and always lived in Exeter until twelve years ago last spring, he moved to the Flats where he spent the remainder of his life. Although he passed the greater part of his life on the farm he was possessed of much mechanical ability and in his younger days worked at the carpenter's trade and did many kinds of shop work. In March, 1862 he was married to Mary Fitch who survives him; also two nieces, Mrs. May Joslyn and Mrs. Loren Knight for whom he made a home and gave a father's care as they were left without one while very young. Three years ago he had a slight shock from which he never recovered, but failed slowly, the last eight weeks being confined to the bed and helpless. He will be missed, especially in the home, for the last year he had been almost confined to it, only occasionally being able to go the short distance to the village, therefore death came as a release from suffering.---Our Burlington Flats Reporter." ["The Otsego Farmer & Republican" (Cooperstown, NY), Fri., Dec. 14, 1906, p. 4]
