On the morning
of June 19, 1894, Arthur W. Bowen, of New Maysville, after an illness of but a
few days passed from this life to that mysterious bourne from whence no
traveler returns. Deceased had been in
failing health for some weeks, but nothing serious developed until Friday June
15. From that time he grew steadily worse until Tuesday morning when he closed
his eyes on the scenes of this earth to open them on the beauties of heaven. He
was a young man of true and conscientious principles, supported by an
energetic, amiable nature – the index to a successful life. To him life was not a dismal, monotonous
probation to an eternity still more foreboding, but rather a joyous, sunny
preface to a future life whose joys are innumerable – that life beyond the
grave. Though early in life he has been summoned before Him who shall judge
mankind, yet he responded to the call with a willing heart and a spirit
submissive to the will of God. How Arthur’s genial countenance will be missed
in the home circle, and in the society of his friends, can be realized only by
those who knew him. His remains were interred
in the New Maysville cemetery Thursday morning.
