David William Bowers family photograph

~Longtime residents of Whiting, Iowa, Monona County, and LeMars, Iowa, Plymouth County

All these family members, except for Rosezella Bowers Moon, are buried at Hite Cemetery in Whiting.
I am presently trying to fill out the Bowers history and would appreciate any information. I can be contacted at kallengs@frontiernet.net
 
Thank you,
Roxie Bowers Wellman

My great-grandparents David William Bowers and Almina Rachel Lash. It seems to be a studio portrait taken for a milestone event. They were married in 1874 and Almina died in 1922, so it couldn't be a 50th wedding portrait. ~submitted by Roxie
