A brief History of the Bowers Mansion

The gravesite sits in back of the mansion at the top of a rise. In the early 1990s, a group of Masons erected a new stone at the site. Before that time only the three individual small gravestones shown below were there.

This monument, erected by the Masons, shows the following:
Alison Orum Bowers, 1826-1923
Lemuel Sanford "Sandy" Bowers 1833-1868
Theresa Bowers, 1861-1861 "Infant Child"
Margaret Persia Bowers, 1862-1874
John Bowers, 1860-1860 "Infant Child"
