Tom Sowers, who had the blacksmith shop at the corner of
Greene & Cross Sts. for a number of years, and afterwards
lived in the Byron neighborhood, died on Monday morning, after
suffering a paralytic stroke the evening before. He has been in
poor health for some time. He and his wife and his son, Marney
and his wife, were making their home in Decatur, ill. Roy Sowers
and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Sowers went to Decatur on Monday. Funeral
services were held at the Valley, Ill. Lutheran Church on Wed.
Valley was the original home of the Sowers family. Mr. Sowers was
a good workman and was well liked. He and Elijah Myers put in
machinery to make small wood novelties where the sawmill now
stands. They did quite well for a time. After moving away from
Waveland, Mr. Sowers followed his trade as long as his health
permitted. kbz
