A Pioneer Preacher Gone.
Rev John Bowman, for a half century a Methodist preacher, died at Cedar Falls last Monday. He came to Iowa after the war of the Rebellion and besides holding pastorates was Presiding Elder to the full time limits on the Fayette and Cedar Falls district. He was past 86 and was ill for less than an hour.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Cedar Falls and that he was born May 24, 1816 and died January 26, 1903.
