Waveland, In Friday, Jan 29, 1932
 
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
