Walter E. Bowyer, native of Foster, Died at Troy Recently
MASON - The death of Walter E. Bowyer, 66, for twenty-five years president
of the First-Troy National Bank and Trust Company, Troy, Ohio, is of concern
to persons of this vicinity who remember him as a native of Foster, Ohio,
and a brother of the late Ed Bowyer. Mr. Bowyer died on Saturday March
11, of a heart ailment.
Mr. Bowyer spent his boyhood near Foster. In 1894 he entered upon his
duties with the Troy National Bank as bookkeeper, the bank at that time
employing but four persons and growing during his forty-five years of
association with the bank to its present position of a leading institution.
Mr. Bowyer served fourteen years as a member of the Troy board of education,
being president during the erection of the Van Cleve high school; served
for many years until illness forced retirement, as president of the board
of directors of the Stouder hospital; served as a member of the city sinking
fund board of trustees for many years; was a charter member of the Rotary
Club of Troy, of which he was at one time president; was a member of the
Troy First Presbyterian church, for which he served as treasurer for thirty
years; was a member of the Scottish Rite and Shrine at Dayton; and was
financially interested in many industries of Troy, being one of the founders
of the Hobart Manufacturing Company.
Of particular interest to Mr. Bowyer were young men, many of whom he assisted
in getting a start along the lines of their ambitions.
Mr. Bowyer was united in marriage with Miss Charlotte Thompson in 1896,
who with their only child, Mrs. David Meeker, one brother Leslie Bowyer,
of Loveland, three grandchildren, and nephews and nieces of whom Mrs.
Charles Bloom, lately of Mason, Mrs. Fulton Cain, of Norwood, and Mrs.
Howard Ayres, of Arizona, are well known in Mason, survive him.
