                CHARLES E. BOWERS (son of JOHN C. BOWERS) was born at
              Williamsburg, Blair Co., Penn., July 4, 1844. At the age of
              nine his parents came to Minnesota, settling at Itaska, Anoka
              Co., June 8, 1853. For the first few years his playmates were
              Winnebago Indian boys, members of that tribe being encamped
              at Itaska and vicinity. After obtaining a common school edu-
              cation, he took up farming. In September, 1862, he enlisted
              in Minnesota Mounted Rangers, Company C, serving for thirteen
              months. For fifteen years he served as town treasurer of 
              Ramsey. April 29, 1896, he was married to LUCY E. FAHERTY.
