> Barbara,
I'd love to have a scanned copy of the photo.
Thank you very much
for the offer. The Bean/Bowen lines seem to have grown into 2
separate lines in Owen, but does your note suggest they were
originally the same?
Here is the info I have on Frank - if you have conflicting into or
believe this to be incorrect, please let me know.
Judy
Name: Frank A BOWEN
--------------------------------------------------
Birth: 8 Nov 1872 Franklin TWP, Owen Co., IN
Death: 1944 CA Age: 71
Occupation: Carpenter & handyman & Jack of all trades
Father: John C. BOWEN Jr. (1827-1874)
Mother: Elizabeth HULLER (1844-1928)

Misc. Notes
In the 1880 Federal Census of IN, Owen Co., Franklin TWP, Frank
A is listed as age 8 and IN born. The enumeration is #153 on Franklin
TWP page 11. The stamped page number is 374.
The obit of Frank’s mother, Elizabeth Huller Bowen Rawley, says that
Frank lived in Ashmore, IL.
I think Ashmore is in Edgar County.
Larry Bowen claims that Elizabeth Huller Bowen Rawley basically
threw the boys out of the house when she remarried Henry Rawley.
Since we do not have the 1890 census to determine how long the
children lived at home, we cannot verify that claim. Certainly Frank
would have been too young to live on his own at age 9 when the
marriage occurred. Additionally, since Elizabeth and Henry Rawley
took in several children such as nephews and grandchildren to raise
in addition to their own three, I find this a little difficult to
believe. I do know that children were sent to live in various other
households for various reasons - perhaps to help the families to
which they were sent, perhaps to help the households they were set from.
