Charles Martin Bowman

Charles Martin Bowman, elder son of Isaac Erb and Lydia (Bowman) Bowman, was born at St. Jacobs, Waterloo County, May 7th, 1863, and died at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital early on the morning of October 24th, 1932, after a brief illness.

He received his Public School education in the village of his birth and later, 1877 to 1879, attended the Berlin High School (now Kitchener and Waterloo Collegiate). Entering his father's tannery as an apprentice he had learned the trade when at the early age of 17, in 1880, he went into business practically for himself, establishing a tannery in Southampton, as partner of the St. Jacobs firm of Bowman and Zinkan. He retained control at Southampton until 1900. From 1880 until 1890 he was also President of the Southampton Lumber Company Limited which operated in the Bruce Peninsula. For twelve years he was engaged in contracting; from 1904 to 1910 he was President of the Great Lakes Dredging Co. Ltd. of Port Arthur, Ont., which concern was awarded the contract of dredging Fort William harbor, the largest single dredging contract given out in Canada up to 1910. In addition to these activities he was at various times director of the Bell Furniture Co. of Southampton, of the Stevens Hepner Co. Ltd. of Port Elgin and of the Durham Furniture Co. Ltd. of Durham.

Mr. Bowman had an extended and distinguished public career. He was President of the Southampton Board of Trade, was in 1894 and 1895 member of the municipal council and 335 subsequently Reeve. In 1898 he was first elected to the Ontario Legislature as member for North Bruce. He was re-elected in 1902, in 1908 and in 1911. Before the next election the ridings were changed somewhat; he was again elected in 1914, for the same general district, but now as member for West Bruce. Always taking a leading part in the Parliamentary debates, Mr. Bowman was made Liberal whip in 1902. For years he acted as financial critic and for a time he was seriously considered for the leadership of his party. In 1919 he definitely retired from active politics.

In 1916 Mr. Bowman, following his father's footsteps, became identified with The Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada in being elected a director. In 1926 he became chairman of the Board of Directors which office he held until his death. He was also President of the Dominion Mortgage Association, President of the Colonization Finance Corporation Ltd., and one of the vice-presidents of the Waterloo Trust and Savings Co.

As President of the Immigration Board of the United Church of Canada Mr. Bowman became widely known. Through his efforts hundreds of immigrant boys were placed on farms in the west. Perhaps his greatest interest, next to the Mutual Life Assurance Company, was, in latter years, the Dominion Agricultural Credit Company, which is devoted to the purpose of profitable agricultural production in Western Canada. Several years ago Mr. Bowman's name was prominently mentioned for appointment to the Dominion Tariff Board.

Mr. Bowman was twice married, in 1896 to Lulu Hesse, who died October 1910, and in 1920 to Henrietta Hesse, sisters, daughters of Julius and Lina Hesse, of Howell, Mich. He is survived by his second wife, one son and two daughters.

Interment was in the Bowman family vault in Southampton Cemetery. An ardent bowler and curler. Mr. Bowman was President of The Kitchener Waterloo Athletic Association and one of the founders of the Granite Club. He was member, and for seven years, May 1914 to May 1921, president, of the Ontario Club of Toronto. He was a prominent member of the Masonic Order.
