Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. He is known here only from his father's obituary. His father has no record here. The link to the released record of Mrs. Isaac Bowman is a proposal: her 1921 obituary names her as Isaac Bowman's second wife, a Jones, and her one son as Berkley Bowman; her given name is garbled there.
