Horace Bowley's obituary states he was 56 years old when he passed away, but further research suggests he was actually 57. At the time of the 1880 census, he was married and working as a clerk in a wood or food store (the first letter on the document is difficult to read). He was born in Maine and later traveled west, settling in Nevada.
