Cheney and" her daughter, Mrs* Florence Carr, was very touching, and although the songs they sang were selected by her in whose memory the service was held, no tinge of sadness prevaded the place but rather a feel- ing of joy and gladness, made possible by the thought which was so prominently brought forth in song and sermon, that "She is not dead, but sleepeth."

| 23141 | Randolph NY Register - 4/17/1942 Otis Franklin Bowen, well known resident of this township, died at his home in the Bowen district Tuesday noon at the age of 85 years. Mr. Bowen had been in falling health for nearly a year and had been seriously ill about a month. The second son of William and Harriet Hitchcock Bowen, . Otis Bowen was born on a farm adjoini n g the one where he had later made his home. His father, when three and a half yars old, had come Into this section from Henrietta, this state, with his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Darius Bowen, Otis Bowen's grandmother was Almira Torrance Bowen, and his mother being Harriet Hitchcock Bowen, he was a descendent of three of Randolph's most prominent pioneer families. His memory of Randolph history, extending iwk more than 75 years, was excellent and he loved to retote incidents of the community, interpreting them in "the light of a homespun phllosphy which add.d Interest for the listener. Mr. Bowen could remember his grandfather as wrti as otm*r early Randolph pioneers and by recalling informs ation they told him, he was able in later years to supply otherwise unknown facts of Randolph history. Otis Bowen was educated In the district school, at Chamberlain In- stitute here, and later attended a religious college in Battle Creek, Mich. He taught school for about a year, but found this type of activity too confining to suit his tastt, so he took up the study of surveying and became proficient In thto line of work. * During hie many years as a surveyor, he did a great amount of work In Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties. Probably no other men had so thorough a knowledge of property lines in the southern part of the Town of Randolph and was always glad to be of assistance tn settling disputes over boundary lines, but did not accept work when he knew it would be the basis of lawsuits, for he believed they should be avoided. Mr. Bowen operated his farm, which he had cleared himself, with the purpose in view of making his family as nearly self-sustaining as possible, an aim which present war conditions have again brought into prominence. In earlier years he enjoyed teaching omen to perform farm work and he saw the various translations from ox teem to airplane. For many years he delivered dairy products to customers In the village. On April 24, 1888, he mar ried Harriet Thomas of Humphrey, who survives. Other survivors are a son, Rouland G.

Within a few hours of each other ese two man who had been closely associated through a lifetime, died in the same house, and of similar difficulties. William Bowe, the oldest man in Randolph and who had resided here perhaps longer than any other person, died Sunday morning, while his son himself a man of middle age, survived until some time during the night. A funeral was conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon, in charge of the R. D. Westbrook of Buffalo, and the burial was made in the family pot at Semple Hill cemetery. The family had been afflicted with a serious epidemi of influenza which in the cases of the two men resulted in pneumonia. Harlan Bowen's conditon was considered somewhat serious about the middle of last week, but he seemed to recover and on Thursday last Wil- liam Bowen addressed a letter to his daughter in which he stated that he thought the worst was over, referring to his son's sickness. The older gen- tlemen's health was so vigorous that the sickness did not cause alarm until the latter part of the week when some symptoms of pneumonia developed. William Bower was born at Henriet- ta, Monroe county, N.Y., September 8,, 1921. His father's name was Darius Bowen and the parents of William moved into Randolph aboout 1827. The older generation was among the very first to settle in this township, and since that time this section has been the home of the family In 1847, on March 16, William Bowen was united in marriage with Miss Harriette Hitch- cock, and to them have been born seven children; Elsie J Hildom of Chicago; Addie Adailine of Bradford; Harlan, who died Sunday; Otis F., of Ran- dolph; Olive E. Woodmancy of Cold- en; Milan of Washington. The family was all present at the funeral except Mrs.. Hildom. The double fatility marks the first death in William Bowen's family, and that is all the more singular for one so advanced in age when it is known tat but one death has occurred in the families, composed as they are of severa children each. Mr. Bowen has been in very vigorous health, and only last month he walked three miles to visit with some friends. He occu- pied his time with the lighter forms of farm work and kept regular hours for sleep and refreshment. | BOWEN, William (I160225)
