General Notes: Husband - Johnston R. Bowers

---

He attended the district schools for fourteen winters, in early youth, and then became a boatman on the Allegheny River and spent some years on the water prior to 1862, when he enlisted for service in the Civil War. He became a member of the 14th Pa. Vol. Cav., under Col. James H. Schoonmaker, and served for three years, participating in sixty-five battles of the war, including Gettysburg and Fisher's Hill. He was within forty feet of the gallant Gen. Philip Sheridan when he started on the famous ride through the Shenandoah Valley. For twenty months Mr. Bowers did scout duty, a very dangerous part of a soldier's work, but he returned to his home practically unharmed. For several years following the war he worked in the oil refining business in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. On February 2, 1872, he entered the service of the Kittanning Water Company, and continued in that business, going from Kittanning to Butler, and from there to Warren, and then to Kane, from there to Indiana, Pennsylvania, and then to Washington, Pennsylvania, then to Monongahela City, later to Duquesne, and from there to Connellsville, and to Canonsburg in 1901. He was superintendent of the works while at Duquesne and was superintendent again after going to Canonsburg.
