• Notes

  Elijah L. Bowman, "was born at the village of Blair, Waterloo County, October 7th, 1862. His early days were spent in and around Blair where he received such education as the schools of his time and vicinity afforded. In 1881 he went to Galt where he was engaged until 1889 when he went to Chesley, Bruce County, where he was engaged as manager of the Sullivan House for one year. Not finding the new position to his taste, he left after the expiration of his term of engagement and came back to Hespeler where he is now engaged by the proprietor of the Commercial House as general manager. Here he is held in high estimation by all classes of people. He is of a lively disposition, fond of associates, and enjoys himself to be engaged in the innocent sports of his comrades. It seems that nature has gifted him with the talent of making friends with almost everybody, and consequently is a good man for the position in which he has been engaged the last number of years. His time is too limited to permit him of seeking a partner for the future." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. _____________________ Mr. Wm. P. Becker received the sad news that his brother-in-law, Mr. E. E. Bowman, passed away at his home in Kitchener on Tuesday afternoon. The late Mr. Bowman was well known and a popular sportsman in bowling, curling and horse racing circles. He conducted the hotel in Hespeler and later the Bowman House in Kitchener. For the past few years he lived retired in Kitchener. He is survived by his widow, who before her marriage was Mary Becker, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John K. Becker, of this town. The funeral will be held at Kitchener on Saturday afternoon. New Hamburg Independent, December 26, 1930
