S. F. BOWERS, 49, DIES SUDDENLY
S. F. Bowers, 49, mail carrier for 24 years and president of the F Tennessee Mail Carriers association, died suddenly from a heart attack yesterday afternoon. He was a rural carrier on route one out of Elizabethton at the time of his death.

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.
He belonged to the Siam Baptist church for at least thirty years, had held several church offices and had been active all of his life in church affairs. He was a Mason and a member of the Jr. O.U.A.M., council no. 1, Elizabethton.
Funeral services will probably be held tomorrow, but definite arrangements have not been made pending word from relatives living in other states. Burial will be in the Bowers Cemetery, Siam.
Survivors are his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Edith Hardin and Miss Gladys Bowers, both of Siam; one son, Crawford, Siam; his mother, Mrs. D. S. Nave, Siam; three brothers, the Rev. D. B. Bowers of Chattanooga, Prof. Roy B. Bowers, Bristol, Va., and John L. Bowers, Elizabethton; one sister, Mrs. Kate Morely, Siam; two half-brothers, Avery Bowers of Elizabethton, and J. P.
