Notes on preparing book on Luther and Ottie Bowman, 2018
- Containers:
- Box 4, Folder 15
- Scope and content:
-
Oscar Wenger, oldest child of Jacob and Jenny Wenger, married Bessie Heatwole. She kept a daily diary for many years. This notebook contains many of her entries referencing Mr. Bowman. Our granddad Luther worked with/for Oscar from 1905-1910. We thought these references were about him. Later realized they referred to Sam Bowman (not related) who owned the farm where Oscar & Luther lived. Bessie's diaries are in EMU's Historical Library.
