Deaths of Reese and Benjamin Bowers

We have been unable to obtain the date, or many of the particulars of this tragedy.

They were the sons of Rev. Valentine Bowers, who was an old and highly respected Baptist minister. They had two brothers, William C. and Joseph P. Bowers. Reese Bowers was a Baptist minister at one time. The father and sons were all Union men. Reese and Benjamin were very active in the Union cause and assisted in piloting Union men and refugees to Ellis.

On the day previous to their death they received word from L. W. Hampton, a prominent Union man of the Doe River Cove, that there were some refugees near his home who were wanting a man to pilot them. These men had some experience in that line and left their homes in what was called the Neck, crossed the mountain to a point on the Watauga river near the Fish Spring, intending to go from there to Mr. Hampton’s. They requested a woman, Mrs. Smith, to set them across the river in a canoe. A company of rebel soldiers had made a raid down in the vicinity of Elizabethton, and were returning just as the Bowers’ got across the river. The latter seeing them started to run, when the soldiers opened fire on them as they ran towards the hills near by; the soldiers pursued them and overtook them. It was told to us that the elder Bowers, Reese, prayed and begged for his life, while Benjamin fought and cursed them with his dying breath; but the fate of each was the same. We have heard different stories as to who killed these men, one that they were killed by the Johnson county home guards under Parker, but their cousin, Isaac Bowers, now a resident of Elizabethton, and whose character for truth is unquestionable, informs us that they were killed by Bozen’s men, and that he recognized a pistol taken from them by Motte, whom we have mentioned as having been connected with a number of other tragedies.

From Emma Ruth Shomaker

Lurana Stout (1831-1900) was widow of Union soldier David Stout, and lived in the log house. Josie was studying at Watauga Academy in Butler, Tennessee. She has BEAUTIFUL handwriting. I notice some captalizations that we don't use now, and wonder if the German background of the Stouts (Staudt of weste4rn Germany) is a reason. I've transcribed it as written as closely as possible.

Miss Ellis and myself room together, and you bet we have a fine time. Maggie is the jolliest girl out of Jail.
We have a very good Boarding house. But I wish to Grannies you would send me something nice to eat.
My dresses fit all right, and I was very glad to get them. And very well pleased with them. I wish you would have me a flannel skirt made and some chemise's and some drawers.
I want you to come over Christmas, as I will try to show off in general then. We are going to give a Musical entertainment, and I expect to play a piece or two.
And next time you write me, send me a stamp, and with a good long letter and tell me what kind of a time Ma and Pa head when they was over at the Depot.
And when Pa comes over you tell him that Miss Selma wants me to take singing Lessons; the price per month is $1.00 one dollar.

Well I will close.
Write soon and a long letter.
Lovingly your Niece,
