ATTORNEY BOWEN DIES SUDDENLY
COLLAPSES AFTER REACHING PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE
Decedent Had Been Practicing Here Many Years and Was Prominent Candidate for Superior Court Judgeship
Calvin C. Bowen, one of the most prominent attorneys in Los Angeles, who was thought likely to be appointed to the superior bench within a few days, died suddenly yesterday afternoon while downtown with his wife. Mr. Bowen first complained of feeling ill last week when he was trying criminal charges against Fred W. Nash and his partner, E. A. Miller. The decision in this case was given Thursday night, and Friday Mr. Bowen remained at his home, 1433 Calumet avenue, resting. Saturday he visited his office and expected to do so yesterday. It being a legal holiday, he went downtown with his wife in their automobile, running the machine himself. Mrs. Bowen left the machine to enter the Boston store. Her husband complained of a slight illness, but neither thought anything about it. When Mrs. Bowen came out she was met by a friend, who said that Mr. Bowen had gone over to the office of Dr. Salisbury in the Bradbury building, and had fainted on the way, having to be assisted to the office by friends. Dr. Salisbury was not in, but three other physicians were called. The patient apparently rallied and an ambulance was called to take him home. Mrs. Bowen immediately went to him, but almost immediately after her arrival her husband collapsed and expired. The body was taken to the undertaking establishment of Bresee Brothers and Mrs. Bowen, prostrate with grief, was conveyed home.
Born in Indiana
Mr. Brown was born in Laporte, Ind., in 1849 (sic), and was educated in the Indiana and Ohio schools. He graduated from the normal school at Lebanon, Ohio, and came to California, where he was married in 1887 to Miss Rosella Booth. Mrs. Bowen and one daughter, Miss Edythe Bowen, a student of the Cumnock school, survive him. Mr. Bowen returned east and studied for the church at the Bible department of the University of Kentucky. He devoted several years to work in the ministry. He subsequently studied law in Des Moines, Iowa, where he graduated in 1894, after which he returned to Los Angeles, where he had practiced ever since. Several years ago he became a member of the firm of Bowen & Miller, with offices in the Bullard block. Decedent was a prominent member of the Magnolia Avenue Christian church, of Pentalpha lodge and Signet chapter, Masonic order, of the Knights Templars and Shriners, and of the Jonathan club and Bar association. He had served as president of the Second and Third Ward Republican club and was a leading member of the Republican party. A brother, W. M. Bowen, is in Sacramento. If he can return in time the funeral probably will be held Wednesday. Definite arrangements for the service have not been made as yet.
