      Inscription
      A Dear Old Mother
      [2]
    • Dead: Mrs. Rhoda Bowman, aged 87, died Saturday at 5 o'clock p.m. at the home of her son, Mr. I.A. Bowman. For eleven years she has been an invalid, confined to her bed most all the time, but a short time since, she took a deep seat of cold, followed by the grip, which was too great a strain on her weakened condition. Even since the death of her husband several years ago, she had made her home with her only son, Mr. I.A. Bowman, on e of our most substantial farmers and stock dealers, who moved to the old Dr. Joplin property near this place five years ago from Jackson county. It was the desire of the family to take the remains back to the old home for burial, but on account of high water it was impossible to do so, and the remains were laid to rest Sunday in the Lair burying grounds.
