William Bowne's Sudden Death

New York, 1895

William Bowne dropped dead in his barn at Ireland Mill on Sunday. He was one of six Bowne Brothers. Ireland Mill has been in the possession of the family since revolutionary times. It is situated near the head of the Vleigh. The deceased was recovering from the grip and left the house to explain the symptoms of a sick cow to Veterinary Surgeon Simmons. His sudden death is attributed to heart disease.
