August 23, 1852 to October 28, 1931
Within these dates the life history of Milton T. Bowers was written. We knew him as an upright man, fair and just in all his dealings; invariably willing to do his part. With courage to face his convictions of right and duty, and ever ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. Loyal in his obligations to church, family and friends, of whom one can faithfully say, "He lived by the side of the road and was a friend to man." A companionship of more than 50 years was unbroken until withing a few days, when Aunt Sarah passed away, through the portal of life to life eternal; to take up a new journey there as here - together - always together. Both fared forth gladly - then who should weep? Who should regret their passing. Is this not their day of great adventure? Their homecoming? Ah! even death is beautiful, when you have lived silently - patiently, for then you go foward untrampled and unafraid, as they have gone leaving us memories.
