General Notes: Husband - Dr. Mathias Stevens Bowser
He was born in a log house three miles west of Kittanning, Pennsylvania. He worked on his father's farm in summer and attended public school in winter, until he was seventeen years of age, when he attended "Select" school, later finishing his education in Elder's Ridge Academy at Dayton, Pennsylvania, and Reid Institute, at Reidsburg, Clarion County. He was endowed with a rare voice and was widely known as a leader of musical conventions. At twenty-two he was ordained to the Baptist ministry and served several churches in successful pastorates. In 1877 he took up the study of medicine under the tutelage of Dr. George Tryon Harding, father of President Warren G. Harding, at Caledonia, Ohio, completing his medical course in the University of Cleveland. He resided at Lima, Ohio, where he has enjoyed a large practice. He was closely identified with civic and educational work in his city, and was frequently invited to make addresses on social and religious subjects on prominent occasions. He was called the "Grand Old Man of Lima."
