Medical Notes: Christian Bowman died last Friday at his home in Darlington at the advanced age of 86 years, the cause being general debility. The funeral occurred Saturday morning at half past ten and the burial was at Shannondale.
Mr. Bowman owned a good farm in Shannondale on which he lived until about five years ago when he moved to Darlington. He leaves one son, Wash Bowman. Mr. Bowman was widely known as an exceptionally industrious farmer and was one of the biggest and strongest men in the county in his prime. Christopher Bowman was buried at Shannondale Saturday after a long and busy life. He was noted for his industry and honesty. His word was his bond in all his dealings. By his own labor he had accumulated considerable property working on his farm, as farming was his only occupation until old age warned him to stop. He then came to town where he and his wife rested from their labors and enjoyed the fruits of their hard work. Mrs. Bowman died about a year ago and now Uncle Chris has gone to join her on the other shore, leaving but one child, Mr. Wash Bowman, who has cared for them through all their sickness. Although he himself having an invalid wife, they, immediately after the death of mother Bowman, left their own home and moved in with and cared for father until his death. Surely he has fulfilled that command, "Honor they father and mother," etc. and can now claim the reward.
