Person:Andalusia Bowen (1)

On the 4th of February, 1858, Mr. Thomas was joined in wedlock with Miss Andalucia Bowen, daughter of Solomon and Lydia (Peck) Bowen, the former a native of Vermont, the latter of New York. The family emigrated to Wisconsin in 1847, becoming residents of Fond du Lac, where they remained for three years, when they removed thence to Portage. They came to Marquette County in 1853, and settled on section 9, in the town of Westfield, where Mr. and Mrs. Bowen remained until becoming inmates of the home of their daughter, with whom they passed their declining years. They were parents of three children, one son and two daughters-George E., who is a resident of Eureka, Greenwood County, Kan.; Mrs. Thomas; and Elenora, wife of James H. Bordwell, a merchant and postmaster of Stewart, McLeod County, Minn. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are parents of two living children and two that have been called home. Lydia graduated from the high school of Westfield in the class of 1889; Elenora is a student in the same school; Gilbert Judson died at the age of two years; and Eldredge Bowen died at the age of seventeen months.
