BOWMAN - Tobias Bowman was born June 26, 1829; died Sept. 2, 1909; aged 80 y. 2 m. 6 d. On April 24, 1853, he was united in holy matrimony with Anna Snyder. To this union were born 12 children of whom 8 are living, who with the mother mourn the loss of one who has been kind and affectionate as husband and father. Bro. Bowman was ordained to the ministry in the Mennonite church of Waterloo Co., Ont., in 1875, in which office he labored faithfully for many years. Though for a number of years he had not done any active ministerial work, yet he kept the faith and was glad to be with the brethren in worship and at communion. The end did not come unexpectedly. Last winter he believed the end of his life was near, and had chosen the text and also who was to officiate at his funeral. But when Spring came he recovered considerably again until about two weeks before his death. Funeral on Sunday, Sept. 5. Services at the house and at the Cressman Mennonite Church near Breslau, Ont. Services were conducted in English by C. B. Snyder from Rev. 14: 13, and in German by Jacob Woolner, Sr., from Isa. 3: 10.

West Montrose Covered Bridge

On January 17, 1881, Woolwich Council accepted the tender of $3,197.50 from John and Benjamin Bear for a covered bridge at West Montrose. John Bear prepared the plans and specifications for a two-span, covered bridge. The total cost, including the extra work, for building this bridge was $3,557.65. John became a renowned bridge builder after he built the Covered bridge. John Bear was hired by Woolwich Council on October 15, 1880 to inspect the following bridges: the West Montrose bridge over the Grand River, the bridge over the Conestogo River at Daniel Weber's farm and the gully bridge on the north side of Scheifele's farm (Waterloo Historical Society Journal, Kathryn Lamb, "West Montrose Covered Bridge," 1977, p27). On November 16 he stated that these bridges should be replaced in the following year (Woolwich Council Minutes, Nov 16, 1881. p280). A number of John Bear's draughting instruments are part of the museum collection at Doon Heritage Crossroads.

On the 9th day of May, 1883, the tender of George Peppler & Co. to paint the bridge with oil paint for $74.25 was accepted.This information comes from the Elmira Municipal Archives, Box #5-1-2-8. "Bridge Book, with statements of Bridges in the Township of Woolwich, November A.D. 1903. It contains builders, tenders, costs and repairs for every bridge in Woolwich from 1881-1910. . In 1895, a cedar crib was built by M. Richard Boye at a cost of $124.00. In 1900, Bowman and Elliot built a centre pier of stone at a cost of $981.00. The total cost of the bridge was $4,662 (Bridge book, 1903, p36).
