3	Gravestone at Salem Lutheran Cemetery, Salem Twp., Clarion Co. PA, transcribed Sept 1995 by E. W. Williams. (Illegible top line, , center letters seem to be TU). Lamb image indicates a child's grave. Under the lamb is inscribed "(Dr?/Of?) J. & M. E. Bower, Died Mar. 1, 185(9)". From the date, it appears to be the grave of Peotus Bower who must have died at birth or in infancy.

5	1880 United States Federal Census, District 32, Carroll, Carroll Co, IA, page 27. Census dated 10 June, 1880. Line 2: Giltner Bower, 32, physician, boarder, b. PA as were his parents. He is a boarder in a household headed by a John Trainer and wife Elizabeth. John Traioner is from Canada with parents from Ireland. The remainder of the individuals in the house are boarders from various locations. This would appear to have been a boarding house.

Conjecture

• Since so many families is the Clarion-Venango Counties border area migrated from Lehigh County, it is worth noting that Michael Brey, (whose daughter married Olive Bower's son), owned land in Upper Milford township, (in then Northampton, later Lehigh County) in 1806, near land of a Henry Bauer. Also a land transaction by one Joseph Klein in October of 1865 mentions land of the "late John Bower', in Salisbury township.

* 1880 U. S. census, Jackson Twp., Venango Co. PA, pg. 15. Date of census: 12th & 14th June 1880. Lines 43-45: Chalmer Karnes, age 28, farmer; wife Mary E. Karnes, age 28; "no name" Bower, age 7/12, female, relationship: "her neace". All & all parents born PA.
If the niece of Mary E. unknown (Karnes) is a Bower, she could possibly be Mary Bower, dau. of John Bower. She would be born about 1852. (Or she could be someone whose sister married a Bower.)
