    • Source: "Reuben Bowman, His Family" by Fred Bowman 1948

      CLAYTON BOWMAN, the third child, was born in the old house at the corner of Weber and Wellington Sts. in Berlin on June 6th 1883. He attended Agnes St. and Central Schools, having had as teachers such well remembered instructors as Mr. J.B. Shotwell, Mr. J.S. Jackson and others.

      After leaving School, he worked at various trades, finally completing his apprenticeship as a carpenter and in March of 1908 he went to San Francisco, where he worked at the rebuilding of that city after the terrible earthquake and fire which had destroyed it in 1906. When this work was nearing completion, he moved to Western Canada and filed on a homestead about five miles from Kindersley, Saskatchewan, where he developed the farm on which he still resides.

      In 1912 he married Miss Emma Mary Jones, who was born in London, England, on March 13th 1884 and came to Canada in 1911. They had a family of seven children, five sons and two daughters.
