"A truly good man, of whom perhaps it may be summed up that in the
possession of those primary virtues of truth and integrity he was
never found lacking, passed away Monday, March 23rd in the person of
Edward Bowlby. The name is familiar to every resident of East
Lambton, and to a vast number of the west riding, as that of one of
Lambton's highly esteemed pioneers. Deceased had been confined to his
bed but one month prior to his death, although his health had not
been good for a much longer period. The direct cause of his death
was diabetes. Had he lived another year and a half he would have been
70 years
of age. He was born in Elgin County, Township of Southwold and
removed to Lambton some 40 years ago, settling first on Lot 26,
Concession 9 afterwards removing to the W1/2 20, Concession 7 where he
resided continuously up to the day of his death. He was married in
1850 to Miss Eliza Pennwarden, still living by whom he had nine
children, five of whom survive him, viz Mrs. Peter McLean, John,
James, Mrs. Tom Lucas, all of Brooke, and Mrs. Charles Parker of
Alvinston. Diseased took a very active part in the early days in the
affairs of the county, being a strong supporter of the Conservative
party. For many years he was identified with municipal affairs having
filled the office of reeve, Councilor, collector, & treasurer with
honour to himself and credit to the township. It is but a month ago
or so that he was compelled to resign the office of treasurer, owing
to his growing ill-health. He was a member of the masonic Order, and
also a L.O.L. Black Knights. The funeral on Wednesday was very
largely attended, the Rev. R.D. Hamilton, Methodist minister,
officiating, who preached a funeral service to a crowded house, after
which the remains were interred in Alvinston cemetery."
Farmed in Brooke Township, Lambton County, Ontario. He led an active
public life, and was chairman of the Board of Health, 1886-1894; he
was a tax collector, 1871-1896, secretary treasurer District 7 School;
and township reeve, 1863-1868.
