Cowan, who resides in the heart of Six-Mile Grove, on the west half of section 17, has been a resident of Harrison County since the spring of 1877, coming to these parts with his parents when he was nineteen years old. He was born in Poweshiek County, Iowa, and is a son of Thomas and Hanna (Matchet) Cowan.

His brothers and sisters were as follows: Robert, Mary A., and George, deceased; John J., Jennie M., deceased; Edward G., Sadie E., Charles R., Frank L., and Willie, deceased. Our subject was married August 24, 1879, to Dora Stoner, of Harrison County, daughter of Andrew J.

The family consists of Emma, Rosa, deceased, Ella Dora, Alice T., deceased: William C., and John W. Five of these children are living in Harrison County. Mr. and Mrs. Cowan are the parents of three children -- Bert M., born Mary 23, 1880; Raymond E., September 16, 1882; Bessie M., February 14, 1891. After coming to Harrison County our subject remained at home two years, assisting his father on the farm in Jefferson Township, then for two years he rented land and farmed on his own account. Having been quite successful, and also having faith in the agricultural resources of this country, he purchased one hundred and twenty acres of land in Cass Township, paying $7 for a part of and $15 per acre for the remainder. The buildings consisted of a one-story house 16x28 feet. This was in 1881 and he continued farming until the spring of 1891, when, on account of ill health, he engaged in the grocery business in which he is now doing well. source: "History of Harrison County, Iowa", 1891, pages 902 - 903
