Frank Henry Bowden was born at South Hadley Falls, Mass., May 12th, 1854 and died Mar. 6th, 1911. At the age of five years he was left fatherless and one year later in Nov. 1860, came with his widowed mother, two sisters and one brother to the farm south of Denmark where he has ever since lived to make his home with his uncle, Deacon Brooks. He was early put to work on the farm and at the age of twelve was doing a mans' work. At this age he shoveled and hauled very nearly one-half of the sand used in the then new academy building. Later he completed his education in this same building. At the age of 17 years he united with the Congregational church and was a constant and conscientious emmber to the time of his death. He was clerk of the church for a number of years and president of the C. E. for several terms.
On January 1, 1896 he was united in marriage with Mary Ingles of Denmark who survives him. Mr Bowden was a patient sufferer having Brights disease, but his demise last Monday at about 2 p. m. came as a great shock to the entire community. He was up and around and out of doors, but after dinner coming from out of doors he remarked to his wife that he did not feel well and that he would lie down. His wife went to him shortly after and he was too near the edge of the other world to speak again in this and in a few minutes, "He was not, for God had taken him." THe funeral was conducted by Rev. Lyman from the Congregational church at 2:30 p. m. on Wednesday, March 8 and a large number of relatives and friends paid their last tribute to him who counted his friends by those who knew him. He was one of the trustees of the Denmark academy and the teachers and pupils attended in a body. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and attested to the high esteem in which he was held. The wife in her loneliness has the sincer sympathy of many friends and may she find comfort in "Him who is good and whose mercy endureth forever."
