Description	:	The following is from "A Standard History of Allen County, Ohio". "It is not remarkable when a man is spared to round out three score years and ten if he accomplishes much and leaves the world better for having lived in it, and a name and fortune behind him; but it worthy of more than passing comment when one whose span of life failed to reach over four decades, was equally successful in every respect.

Read More	The following is from "A Standard History of Allen County, Ohio". "It is not remarkable when a man is spared to round out three score years and ten if he accomplishes much and leaves the world better for having lived in it, and a name and fortune behind him; but it worthy of more than passing comment when one whose span of life failed to reach over four decades, was equally successful in every respect. The late Ora M. Bowersock was less than 40 years of age at the time of his death, July 24, 1917, but during the comparatively short tenure of his life, he had become known as one of the most substantial farmers of Shawnee township, and as a citizen who had contributed in many ways to his community's development." "Mr. Bowersock was born in German (now American) township, Allen county, Ohio, December 16, 1877, a son of Samuel and Mary (Dennis) Bowersock, residents of American township, both of whose parents were early settlers of Allen county. He attended the district schools of his home community and the business college at Lima, following which he was associated with his father in farming until his marriage, April 4, 1906, to Miss Alta Hanes, who was born in a log cabin in Shawnee township, September 10, 1884, a daughter of Samuel and Margaret (Ansbach) Hanes." "Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock moved to the Hanes homestead, one of the finest farms in Shawnee township, the home upon which, a structure built in 1890, is one of the best residences in this locality. Here Mr. Bowersock applied himself industriously to agricultural operations. He was not only a large general farmer, but an extensive raiser of Jersey cattle and maintained a large dairy. He was a Republican in his political affiliations. He was known as a man of sound and practical ideas, progressive in spirit and energetic in his nature, and his citizenship was such as to cause him to be a supporter of all worthy movements. His friends were numerous and his death was the cause of much sorrow in his community."
