Bloomington (IN) Telephone, November 2, 1897, p. 4.
A dispatch from Bedford states that John Welsh, better known as "Peggy"
Welsh, was found dead at an early hour this morning near the E. & R. depot.
The body was lying across a seat box in the cab of one of the freight
engines. Death had evidently ensued several hours before as the body was
fast growing cold. From the appearance it is thought that death resulted
from epilepsy.
Bedford (IN) White River Standard, May 4, 1854. NOTE: The item below was

I am looking for information on George W. Bowerman who married Nancy J.
Huff/Emhuff.
In the 1880 census he and Nancy are living in Polk Township, Washington
County, Indiana, and have one son, John R. Bowerman, who was five years old
at the time. I am wondering what happened to George did he pass away after
1880, or get remarried; I am also wondering the same thing about Nancy, did
she pass away after 1880, or did she get remarried. The 1880 census says
George was born about 1825 in Tennessee, and he was about 55 years old.
In the 1870 census, I found a George Broverman, (spelling difference from
1880?), who was about 45 years old, and was living with Frederick Hafely
and his family, and George's occupation at the time was a Farm Hand; they
were living in Polk Township, Washington County, Indiana. In the 1870
census his birth place is listed as Indiana, and he is about 45 years old.
Could this be the same George as the George in the 1880 census?
I found a George Bauerman in the 1860 census living in Silver Creek
Township, Clark County, Indiana. The 1860 census lists is birthplace as
Tennessee, and he is about 25 years old. His birth year is about 1830. He
is living with Patrick Martin and his family. I am not sure if this is the
same George Bauerman that was in the 1880 census with Nancy.
I found George W. Bowerman in the 1860 census living in District 5, in
Blount County, Tennessee. It lists his birthplace as Tennessee, and lists
his birth year as 1830. He was about 30 years old at the time. He is living
with Michael Bowerman and family. I am assuming that Michael Bowerman is
his father.
In 1850, I found a Wright Bowerman, who was about 22 years old, and was
living in District 5, Blount County, Tennessee. It lists his birth year as
1828. He is living with Michael Bowerman and family.
I am wanting to know if George W. Bowerman in the 1860 census, and Wright
Bowerman in the 1850 census are the same person, and also if this is the
same person as in the 1870 and 1880 census?
Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very, very much!

WIFE BEATERS TAKE WARNING
Today is not a time to deal lightly with a subject that came to our ears
last night and which, on another occasion, might have been so treated.
Ernst (consider Ernest a spelling variant), a shoemaker, is well known
through police court reports, having been frequently hauled up before the
mayor on charges of drunkenness and wife beating. Last night he repeated
this favorite pastime and so far did he carry the joke that the marshal was
called upon to take him to jail. As the marshal and his prisoner were
coming out from the residence of the latter last night, at about half past
eight o'clock, they were met by a crowd of men variously but effectually
disguised. Dick was given to understand very per-emptorily (sic) that his
services would be dispensed with. The mob, which numbered about thirty,
more or less, then took Peters in charge and guided him toward Gerrish's
woods northwest of the school building. Here, after a few preliminaries, he
was treated to a gentle flogging on his bare back and, after being warned
that if his "didos" (sic) were ever repeated again his punishment would be
trebled, he was allowed to go free. Peters is a fair mechanic and, when
sober, it is said, provides reasonably for his family. Wife beaters, it is
thought, will find this community intensely warm for them; and if Peters or
anyone else contemplates exercising their muscle in that manner in the
future, our advice as a disinterested party would be for them to move west.
Seymour (IN) Weekly Democrat, September 22, 1881, p. 3.
Will Brown, the popular O. & M. express clerk in the Seymour office, is
about to surrender his position for the purpose of attending a law school.
(Illegible) Clark, who has held the position of night ticket agent for a
number of years, takes his place. Frank Patrick, well and favorably known
in this city in connection with the grocery business, will probably fill the
place vacated by Mr. Clerk.
Seymour (IN) Weekly Democrat, September 22, 1881, p. 3.
Mary L., six years old, daughter of Oliver Stout of Brownstown, died early
yesterday morning of fever. The remains were taken to the Gossett Graveyard
in Redding Township for burial today.
Indianapolis (IN) Journal, November 18, 1901, p. 8. NOTE: The item below

HOUSE BUILT ON A ROCK
The pulpit of the Second Presbyterian Church was occupied yesterday morning
by Rev. Herman I. Stern of Corydon, Ind., a nephew of Rev. Max I. Stern, a
minister who died in this city several years ago.
Mr. Stern is not, as many who heard his name supposed, a Hebrew but a German
and at one time in his ministerial career preached in the German language.
He left the German Reform Church some years ago and became a Presbyterian
clergyman.
Mr. Stern is not a preacher of the sensational type but confines himself to
a simple, easily-comprehended exposition of scriptural declarations. His
sermon yesterday morning was based on Matthew VII, 24-27, the concluding
verses of the Sermon on the Mount which contrast the house built upon a rock
with the dwelling founded upon shifting sand. Mr. Stern said, in part.

Reading (PA) Eagle, November 15, 1885, p. 1. Note: The attackers in this
instance are commonly called whitecappers.
KNIGHTS OF THE SWITCH
Cincinnati, Nov. 14-A dispatch from Corydon, Ind., says that another
terrible outrage at the hands of the Knights of the Switch took place on
Thursday night. The Knights went to the residence of Mr. George Graham,
living near Corydon, took him by force out of his house into the yard where
they stripped him and gave him 150 lashes. Many of the blows were laid on
after Mr. Graham had fainted. The cause of the outrage on Graham is his
alleged ill-treatment of his wife who protested "that all her husband had
done was to talk cross to her."
New Ulm (MN) Weekly Review, December 16, 1885, p. 6. NOTE: Knights of the
Switch might refer to whitecappers or the Ku Klux Klan; they were a
vigilante group.
A band of 25 "Knights of the Switch" rode to the house of Benjamin Scott
near Corydon, Ind., and ordered him to take his mixed children from a white
school in the neighborhood and send them to a colored school. Fearing some
punishment lest he did as commanded, Scot complied with the request.

Charles Motweiler, the young boy who passed $2,000 worth of forged checks on
the First National Bank, was taken to the reform school at Plainfield
yesterday by Sheriff Strack. He was pleased to be sent there instead of to
the penitentiary at Jeffersonville and promised to obey all the rules and
secure a parole, if possible, within a year.

Nicholas Miller will probably be taken to the penitentiary this week to
serve two years for housebreaking. No action to secure a release has been
made since Gov. Matthews declined to parole him.
