The Marion Register Tuesday May 28, 1918
CAPT. A. BOWMAN
---------------
The funeral services of Capt. A. Bowman were held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the home of A.E. Blinks on east 8th avenue. Delegations of G.A.R. and W.R.C. members were present, also many citizens.
Rev. Hanscom conducted the religious services, and paid the deceased a splendid and richly deserved tribute. Of him it may be said, and truthfully, that as soldier and citizen there were none better.
A quartet, composed of D.E. Voris, H.H. Hendryx, J.J. Booth and G.H. Clark, furnished appropriate music. The pall bearers were Grand Army comrades--Commander C.E. Cross, Adjutant John P. Swan, Quartermaster John Iehl, Past Post Commanders N.J. White and Ed. Ward and Thos. J. Kenney. Interment in Crab Apple cemetery, near his old farm home, where his wife was buried many years ago.
The full G.A.R. ritualistic services were given, concluding with a fine address by the Post Commander C.E. Cross.
The following members of Capt. Bowman's company are known to be living: W.A. Austin and John P. Swan of Marion, James Anderson and Fred West near Marion, John McKee of Cedar Rapids, Isaac Bice of Walker, and R.M. Painter of Kansas, who was Commander of the State Department there in 1916.
