Brings Back Memories

On June 18, 2001 I received e-mail from Alice expressing that Mrs.
Harwood wanted her to tell me how very much she was enjoying the
book (under her new gadget!).She said she had seen so many names
of people she knew and even some family she had forgotten. There
was a picture of her parents with all the "boys", but not the girls
for some reason. Alice said the book has been a real "boost" for
her-thanks so much! Zora Mae Bowers Harwood is living in Asbury Care Center in Charlotte and is 92 years old! She has a machine that magnifies the pages so she can read them, as she is rapidly losing her sight. She is a daughter of Daniel Rufus and Maggie Bowers. She and her sister Pauline are the only two members of the Daniel R. Bowers family still living. Zora was so appreciative of the book that she personally wrote us a letter expressing "how happy she was to find so many names of Daniel Rufus Bowers family". In her letter, she even sent corrections so the information we have would be totally accurate! Recently we asked if she had any pictures of her or her sisters that we might be able to add to the Daniel Rufus Bowers family pages along with the corrections when we had the second printing done. Mrs. Harwood was kind |

to share three pictures. One of Flora, Zora, and Pauline the three
daughters of Daniel and Maggie Bowers from November 1960; one of
Zora and her husband Pearl from 1963; and one of Flora & Cecil
Moose on their 50th Wedding anniversary May 4, 1979. The enjoyment
she got from the Absalom book should give all of us encouragement
to continue these works to share with future generations. Thank you Mrs. Harwood and thank you Alice! |
