WALTER BOWKER

Note: 99% sure this was originally Boraker although when Clarence and wife, Edna Miller from C'ville went west, they definitely went by Bowker.

Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal

Walter, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Bowker (McPherson, KS) age 2, died Sunday night after a protracted illness. Death was caused by membranous croup following an attack of measles. The afflicted parents have the sympathy of many people.-- typed by kbz

Note: Could be wrong, but this is likely the son of Clarence Berlin Bowker (27 Nov 1881 - 14 Dec 1964) and Bessie Ellis Fisher (1884-1975) buried in McPherson Cemetery, McPherson, Kansas but this Walter's dates are 15 March 1875 - 26 April 1889  however in that year it would have been on a Friday so they perhaps could have had two Walters or the info on the short obit is incorrect

Note - I just happened to find this in a bunch of newspapaer clippings and there was no date.  There is no obituary in the large Crawfordsville library obit file liested either. So if ANYONE knows, please let me know
