  HERBERT DUNLAP BOWMAN, late employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was 
born March 6, 1877, in Huntingdon County, the son of Peter and Louisa (Pheasent) 
Bowman.  Herbert Bowman obtained his education in the schools of his county.  
The ensuing five years, he engaged himself as a farmer and subsequent to this he 
removed to Juniata where he became employed in the shops of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad.  Then he was promoted to fireman and later to engineer on the middle 
division, where he remained until his death on October 16, 1918.  Mr. Bowman was 
a kindly man, a sympathetic friend and neighbor and his passing, while still in 
middle life, saddened the community in which he lived and worked.  In addition 
to his membership in the United Brethren Church, Mr. Bowman was prominent in the 
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Sons of Veterans, and the Pennsylvania 
Railroad Relief and the railroad brotherhoods.  Prior to his removal to Juniata, 
he also served as constable for two terms in Huntingdon County.  On September 1, 
1897, Miss Gertrude Stever became the wife of Mr. Bowman. She is the daughter of 
Luther Stever, a farmer of Huntingdon County, and Annie (Gosnell) Stever, a 
member of a Huntingdon County family.  Mr. and Mrs. Bowman became the parents of 
the following children: Almeda, now Mrs. D. R. Boutell, of Baltimore; Harold E., 
associated with the Pennsylvania Railroad; Pauline E.; and Luther C.  Mrs. 
Bowman makes her home at 227 Seventh Avenue, Juniata.
