More about the Bowens from an essay by Barret Whittemore in History of Jones Co., Ia., 1879.

"It [Bowen's Prairie] derives its name from Hugh Bowen, who, in company with John Flinn, in the year 1836, first visited this locality..", p.526

"On the 16th of April, 1839, Harrison Bowen, a brother of Hugh Bowen, arrived with his family from Ohio, taking up his residence with his brother. Joseph Berryhill, a half-brother of Mr. Bowen, arrived at the same time." p.530

"The communion service was the gift of Mrs. James Bowen.", p. 535
"This church has a fire bell, the cost of which was partly donated by Asa Bowen..", p.535.
[Bowen's Prairie 1st Congregational Church, est. 1853.]
