• Notes

  Joseph C. Bowers, "was born near Berlin, March 6th, 1846. He was raised on the farm which he afterwards possessed. On May 1st, 1877, he was married to Charlotte, daughter of Samuel and Catharine (Overult) Bricker. She was born August 15th, 1847. After their marriage they took possession of his father's beautiful farm near Berlin where they resided until his death which took place March 16th, 1892. Some time after his death his widow left the farm and moved to Berlin where she still resides. Their family consists of two children". 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ________________________ SUDDEN DEATH Mr. Joseph C Bowers, died suddenly on Wednesday at his residence near Berlin. He was in Berlin that day lively and cheerful. On arriving at home he sat down to supper, taking a hearty meal. While at the table ordinary conversation was engaged in and there was not the slightest indication that anything was the matter. He took a drink of tea from his cup and then sank down in his chair, dying instantly. Deceased was 46 years old, and one of the best informed and most advanced farmers in the country. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss and who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. New Hamburg Independent 25 Mar 1892 pg 2
