A handwritten copy of the obituary of Dr. Ira Edgar Bowman (1881-1945) printed December 31, 1945.

Mr. Bowman was a teacher in Epsom, Indiana and later a postal clerk at the Washington post office. After he graduated from the IU School of Medicine, he established his medical office in Elnora, Indiana. He moved his office to Raglesville and later to Odon. These items were part of a large collection compiled by Jane Luella "Janet" (Passwater) Keith-Lee (1937-2017) who graduated in 1955 from Plainville High School in Plainville, Indiana. In 2025 Sarah Fry donated to the Daviess County Museum Ms. Keith-Lee's extensive collection of photos, newspaper clippings and documents about her family and people, towns, schools and events in northern Daviess County. |
