General Notes: Husband - W. Chamber Bowers
He grew up at Manorville, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and there received his education. After his school days were over he engaged in boating on the Allegheny river, and then went to Johnstown, where he was employed in a mill for two years. At the end of that time he entered the employ of the Allegheny Railroad Company, later the Allegheny division of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, beginning work as a brakeman. He received promotions until he became passenger conductor, which position he has held for over thirty-two years. For twenty-two years he was a conductor on the accommodation train between Kittanning and Pittsburgh, and he was later occupied on the run between Oil City and Pittsburgh for some years, working every other day. He was a member of the Railroad Association, and fraternally of the Royal Arcanum. He was a lifelong Republican on political questions and, like his parents, he belonged to the M. E. Church.
After his first marriage he resided at Manorville, thence moving to East Brady, and from there to Kittanning.
