      Henry Bowers, farmer, Lone Star, Penn., was born in 
Virginia, January 1, 1826. He is a son of Solomon Bowers and 
Peggy Bradford Bowers, who were natives of Whiteley 
Township, Greene County, Penn., where they were married, 
then moved to Virginia and remained until their death. They 
had twelve children, eight of whom are now living. 
  
      Henry Bowers is the oldest son and was united in 
marriage October 21, 1847, with Catharine Barockman, born in 
Virginia, July 27, 1824. She is a daughter of John Barockman 
and Barbara Franks Barockman, natives of Pennsylvania, who 
after marriage moved to Virginia and remained until their 
death. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bowers are the parents of seven 
children, four dead: Lucinda Bowers, Elizabeth Bowers, Clark 
Bowers and Marion Bowers; and three living- Morgan Bowers, 
Sarah E. Bowers, and Josephus Bowers, who married Josephine 
Fuller, and is the father of two children: Charlie E. Bowers 
and Lizzie M. Bowers.  Mr. Bowers is a farmer, as we learn 
from the heading of this sketch, and is the owner of a fine 
farm of 170 acres. He and his family are members of the 
Methodist Protestant Church, in which he has been one of the 
trustees for about ten years.
