- Randolph NY Register - 4/18/1913
Harlan Bowen was born in Randolph
November 27, 1852, and had lived in
this township-all his llife. He was notoriously
an industrious man and kept
everything about his place neat and or-
derly. He married Miss Effie Williams
in April, 1880, and to them two sons
were born: Charles Lindsey Bowen,
who after obtaining an advanced education
went to Africa,-where be is now
employed as missionary; and Ernest
Nelson Bowen of Randolph. Mr. Bowen
was one of the sturdy, upright farmers
who has made for himself a competency
through constant and untiring labor.
He manufactured a high grade of but-
ter upon his farm and twice each month
he drove to Jamestown where his pro-
ducts sold at a hig price. He was,
like his parents and family, an earnest
member of the Seventh Day Adventist
church, and conscientiously followed
the teachings of that doctrine in lead-
ing a christian life.
The surviving members of the family
have the satisfaction of realizing that
the two men whose lives went out last
Sunday, had lived upright and honor-
able and had.the respect of the entire
community. The funeral, Tuesday afternoon,
was attended by a very large
number of friends, relatives an associ
ates.
