Obituary & Burial

  • An Obituary for William Basil Bowers appeared on Thursday, 20 Nov 1947, in The Alabama Courier, Athens, Alabama. William B. Bowers

    Funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon at three o'clock for William Basil Bowers, Limestone County's second returned war dead, at the Church of Christ.

    He entered service in 1944 and while at sea on January 11, 1945, became ill. He was removed from the ship to the Naval Hospital on Bermuda Island, where he died January 25.

    He is survived by one son, George Earl Bowers; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Bowers; five brothers, James, Floyd, Carl, Bobbie and Johnny Bowers; and four sisters, Mrs. Wallace Wynn, Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs. Clebert Moore, Miss Mae Bowers and Miss Martha Bowers.

    IN MEMORIAM:

    The Alabama Courier, January 24, 1946. In memory of our son, William Basil Bowers, BoM S-c, who passed away at Bermuda Island, January 25, 1945.
    Gone is the face we loved so dear,
    Silent the voice we loved to hear,
    Tis sad but true we wonder why
    So suddenly you had to die.
    The blow was hard,
    The shock severe,
    We little thought your death was near.
    Only those who have lost can tell
    The pain of this parting without your farewell smiles.
    Your vacant place in our home can never be filled,
    Your loving smiles still seen to be there.

    His mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Bowers.2
