The body was discovered by Emma Johnson, a neighbor living across the road. He had apparently died of a heart attack or stroke sometime Thursday morning, according to Deputy Sheriff Roy Hardaker, who investigated. Hardaker reported that there were no indications of violence and that the kitchen light had been left burning. Born in Boone county, Dec. 27, 1865, he was the son of Josiah and Mary Elizabeth Bowman.
