Obituary, source unknown (date 10/13 overwritten on text):
Funeral Tomorrow for Beulah Bowers
Funeral services for Mrs. Beulah (Mumaugh) Bowers, 58, wife of Charles H. Bowers, superintendent of Nanty Glo schools, will be conducted at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon by Rev. Francis Kees, pastor of the Nanty Glo Methodist Church. Interment in Yellow Creek Cemetery, Bedford County, will be directed by George Ondriezek of Nanty Glo.
Mrs. Bowers died at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning at her home. She had been in poor health for several years.
Born in Omaha, Neb., February 1, 1884[sic], Mrs. Bowers was a daughter of Joseph and Frances (Miller) Mumaugh. She was head of the department of modern languages at the State Normal School in Millersville from 1905 to 1911. The Bowers family had resided in Nanty Glo for the last 10 years.
Surviving, in addition to her husband, are two children -- Frances, wife of Lloyd Evans, Nanty Glo, and Quentin H. Bowers, Baltimore, Md. There are two grandchildren.
Note the error in her father's first name. I guess because John Elden Mumaugh's nickname was 'Joe' and Homer always heard him referred to in that manner.
Beulah was educated at the Sorbonne in Paris and at Goettingen University in Germany. She returned from her European educational experiences on the Grosser Krafurt, which sailed from Bremen on 18 Feb 1905, and arrived in New York in 1905. On the manifest, she was listed as a citizen of the USA.
During the summers Beulah and Homer lived in Yellow Creek with his parents, and she raised chickens selling infertile eggs to the kitchens at the Bedford Springs Hotel.
