"William Crain Bowers of No. 1,172 Park avenue, New York City, and Cooperstown, passed away at Mohican Lodge, his summer home, Sunday evening at 7:45 o'clock, after an illness of several months' duration. Mr. Bowers came here this season in the middle of May, hoping that the change would be beneficial. But his decline was steady until the end. Mr. Bowers was born in the historic old stone house on Main street, Cooperstown, January 20, 1860, the son of the late Henry J. Bowers and Philapheta Crain. He was educated in Cooperstown High school and remained at his home here until he was twenty-eight years of age, when he went to New York City, to become actively associated in the law offices of Bowers & Sands. The senior member of the firm was the late John M. Bowers, a brother whose death occurred in March, 1918. On January 18, 1893, Mr. Bowers was married to Miss Jennie Foster in New York City, who survives him together with two sons, Stewart W. Bowers and Joel Foster Bowers, and a sister, Miss Martha Stewart Bowers, all of New York City ... burial and interment made in Lakewood cemetery."
