A log house fourteen feet square was built, which however did not serve very long, as it burned, after which he and his mother had to live in a sod house, 12x14 feet, for about one year, when the water drove them out, after which a fame house was provided. As years went by, our subject purchased more land, and became better situated financially. Concerning his earlier life it may be said that our subject was born in Sweden in 1849, his parents were Andrew and Carrie Bowman, whose five children were: Martin, Mary, Carrie, Anna and Andrew. Our subjects father died in Sweden in 1847, and in 1864, he accompanied his mother to this country. They came from New York, to Omaha, where he worked on the railroad about one year. His mother took a homestead, and had to pay every cent she had to secure it. They had to live in any way, until times brightened up. They did not always have enough to eat, or enough to wear, in order to be comfortable. In 1878 this self- sacrificing woman, laid down the burdens of life, aged sixty-five years. Our subject was united in marriage in 1873, to Miss Margaret Hanson, the daughter of Hans and Carrie Hanson, whose four children were Anna, Margaret, Andrew and Oliver. To our subject and his wife were born five children in the following order: Andrew, August 14, 1874; Tura, January 17, 1876; Albert, September 14, 1879; Sadie, April 1, 1883; Arthur, December 18, 1890.
