At the young age of eight years she traveled with her family to Hamilton County, Nebraska, and two years later, on June 15, 1886 occupied with them a homestead 9-1/2 miles northwest of Atwood. Here she knew the joys and hardships of pioneer life. As a member of a large family she acquired the qualities of character and interests in life that were to distinguish her in later years. Here, too, were sown the spiritual seeds which developed into a personal faith in God so that her devotion to Christ and love of God's Word became the anchors of her life. On September 29, 1896, she was married to James D. Bowland and to this union were given six sons: Walter Asa, now of Akron, Colorado; Oscar Williams, now of New Castle, Colorado; Edgar August, now of Wray, Colorado; James David, now of Portland, Oregon; Arthur Pershing, now of Los Angeles, California; and Oliver, deceased September 30, 1946: Six daughters; Edith, now Mrs. Sam DeGarmo, of Freewater, Oregon; Ella Helena, now Mrs. Les Hurtt, of McDonald, Kansas; Cora Agnes, now Mrs. Jack Louthan, of Rifle, Colorado; Clara Mae, now Mrs. George Welch, of Bird City, Kansas; Mable Celia, now Mrs. Leonard Ely, of Atwood, Kansas; and Beulah G., deceased in infancy. Her mother heart embraced and she gave love and care to four step-children, Simon, Belle C., and Mattie K. Bowland, all deceased, and Frank D. Bowland, now of Santa Ana, California. Through the years she has, with God-given aid help to guide her large family to maturity and is indeed a mother beloved to them all. Mrs. Bowland was preceded in death by her husband and helpmate on May 12, 1929. An important hobby in her life was quilting and the love she held for all her family is expressed by her ambition to leave with each grandchild a quilt done with her own hands. Twenty-five to thirty of these had been completed, a lasting tribute to her industry and token of her love. Mrs. Bowland became the victim of an accident on May 14, 1951, which left her physically handicapped and weakened. Increasing fraility became her portion and she closed her eyes to earth's scenes on June 6, 1953, enroute to the hospital. Her memory will be cherished by the five sons and five daughters with their companions--as well as by six brothers and two sisters, 56 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren and many other relations and friends. PIONEER RESIDENT PASSED AWAY Death has claimed another of the West's pioneers. Mrs. Celia Rummel Bowland of McDonald, Kansas suffered a stroke, Saturday, June 6, and succumbed before reaching the hospital in Atwood. Immediate cause of death was believed to have been a cerebral hemmorrhage, resulting from extremely high blood pressure. However, Mrs. Bowland had not beeen well since being injured in a tornado in 1951. Since the injury, she had been cared for by Mrs. Les Hurtt, a daughter, who occupies with her husband the place north of McDonald to which Mrs. Bowland came as the bride of James D. Bowland in 1896. Mr. Bowland, a civil war veteran and pioneer settler, died in 1929. Since then, Mrs. Bowland had become an enthusatic traveler and had ventured as far as Alaska. Her last trip, by permission of her dictor was to California just last fall. Mrs. Bowland is mourned by a goodly number of descendants, relatives, and friends who remember her openheartedness, industry and good-neighbor friendliness so characteristic of early settlers.
