Wilmington lost one of its oldest and most highly respected citizens yesterday in the death of Mr. James Owen Bowden, who entee into rest;.' at twenty! minutes past one o'lclockj For nine days he had been critically ill and for the. last two or three days his death would! not have been a surprise at any moment Six years ago he was accidentaly burned ad since then he has been aonfined to his home. . J , ' jMr Bowden was in the eighty-third year of his age, having been born On August 24, 1815. His .childhood, youth . and early manhood were , spent at the place of his birth which was " near' Rocky Point i n what was then known' as New Hanover county. Oft February 29,. 1844, he was married a Miss Sarah A. Collins. In 1855 he me' to Wilmington to live and en gaged in the business of turpentine dijstilling.his stills being located where the Wilmington Compress now stands. Later - he moved his business across the river, behind Point Peter. He was burned out here, alter which be followed the business of a naval stores inspector until five or six years since when he retired, partly from his ad vancing age and partly from; injuries received in an accident' already re ferred to. Mr. Bowden joined the Second Pres byterian Church twenty years ago, when Rev. C. M. Payne was the pas tor, and until his death was a beloved member of - that church (afterwards St.; Andrews). He was an honorary member of St John's Lodge, A. F. & A M., and was probably the oldest Master' Mason in! the city, having been a Mason over fifty years.

It was first decided to have the funeral to-morrow morning, but afterwards it - was thought .best not to wait so long.
