• Notes

  Isaac L. Bowman, "the youngest son of John B. and Nancy (Bechtel) Baumann, was born near Freeport, Ontario, May 23rd, 1830. In his younger days he was engaged as a teacher of our public schools. About the year 1860 or 61 he was appointed inspector of our public schools, which position he held until 1871 when a change in the school law was made. He then followed surveying of land. At the time of his death he was treasurer for the township of Waterloo. He was a member of the United Brethren in Christ, of which body he was a local minister. On December 25th, 1862, he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of John and Mary (Wenger) Meyers. She was born May 17th, 1844. They resided in the town of Berlin where he died of paralysis February 3rd, 1893. Their family consists of four boys" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ________________________ BOWMAN - On the 3d of February, 1893, in Berlin, Waterloo Co., Ont., after a protracted period of suffering, Isaac L. Bowman, aged 62 years, 8 months and 11 days. The remains were laid to rest on the 6th, in the Blair cemetery. Funeral services were conducted by D.B. Sherk. The deceased was for many years a faithful member of the U.B. church (Old Constitution) and also a local preacher of that body. He was a lover of education and was a successful teacher, serving also as principal of the Freeport Academy, and as Superintendent of Public Schools for Waterloo county years ago. In these capacities and that of surveyor in which business he was engaged in later years, he became widely known throughout Waterloo and other counties, and was highly esteemed as a citizen for his strict integrity, and for his kindliness and geniality, but above all for his humility and firmness to christian principles. He leaves a deeply bereaved wife and family of four sons and a large circle of warm friends to mourn his departure. He was resigned to his God and his end was peace. K.
