This photo was taken in the summer of
1958. In the front row are Agnes age 67 and Benjamin Clinton Bowen age 77. The
back row left to right are their five daughters, Eilene Grace Lefrancois age 29, Dolly
Eleanor Nicols (McDonel) age 33, B onnie Elevera Peterson age 35 (Webb), (Peggy) Agnes
Anna Mauller age 36 and Leona Rhea Pogue age 38.
The photo below was taken at my home in Bloomington, Minnesota in 1997.
The woman on the left is Leona Rhea Bowen the oldest daughter of Benjamin C. and
Agnes Bowen. The second from the left is Eilene Grace Bowen the youngest daughter.
Third from the left is Christa Joy Harden Spaeth, daughter of Wesley Richard Bowen Harden
and Cynthia Marie Harden. On the right in Agnes Anna Bowen (Peggy) the second
oldest. The Bowen ladies are half sisters to
William Wesley Bowen Harden, my father. Unfortunately, they never had the
opportunity to meet their brother in this world.
