On the morning of June 19, 1894, Arthur W. Bowen, of New Maysville, after an illness of but a few days passed from this life to that mysterious bourne from whence no traveler returns.  Deceased had been in failing health for some weeks, but nothing serious developed until Friday June 15. From that time he grew steadily worse until Tuesday morning when he closed his eyes on the scenes of this earth to open them on the beauties of heaven. He was a young man of true and conscientious principles, supported by an energetic, amiable nature – the index to a successful life.  To him life was not a dismal, monotonous probation to an eternity still more foreboding, but rather a joyous, sunny preface to a future life whose joys are innumerable – that life beyond the grave. Though early in life he has been summoned before Him who shall judge mankind, yet he responded to the call with a willing heart and a spirit submissive to the will of God. How Arthur’s genial countenance will be missed in the home circle, and in the society of his friends, can be realized only by those who knew him.  His remains were interred in the New Maysville cemetery Thursday morning.
