The thicket was near Holsclaw's farm on the Siam-to Valley Forge road. Mr. Bowers had finished delivering mail for the day and was returning home. He parked his car on the main highway and supposedly had gone through his own cornfield, crossed the old highway into the woods, apparently investigating the right-of-way for another road. His body was found about one-half mile from his automobile. He lived in Siam. Death was due to apoplexy, according to the coroner jury's verdict, acting upon the testimony of Dr. John Cottrell. Mr. Bowers had been in ill health. Early yesterday morning he had complained of not feeling well, but seemed to have been better at noon. Death came as a surprise to his many friends as he was well known, not only in Elizabethton and Carter county, but through out east Tennessee.
