BOWEN WAS THE PERSONAL PHYSICIAN TO THE BORDEN FAMILY AND MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THE FAMOUS LIZZIE BORDEN MURDER TRIAL. DR. BOWEN LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BORDENS. LIZZIE'S FATHER AND STEPMOTHER WERE BOTH BLUDGEONED TO DEATH WITH AN AXE ON AUG.4, 1892 IN FALL RIVER ,MA. DR. BOWEN WAS SUMMONED TO THE MORNING OF AUG.4 TO THE BORDEN HOUSE AND ADMINISTED MORPHINE TO LIZZIE TO CALM HER DOWN. HE TESTIFIED AT HER MURDER TRIAL. FOR THE DEFENSE. A VERY INTERESTING STORY IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ ABOUT IT. I KNOW THEY DO REANACTMENTS AT THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE IN FALL RIVER. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE THE MARRIAGES, BIRTHS AND DEATHS. THESE ARE FANCY OLD SCRIPT SO I MAY GET A FEW OF THE INITALS WRONG. MARRIAGES: L.N.(THE N MAY BE A W0 BOWEN TO PHOEBE L. MILLER, OCT.31st, 1871/FALL RIVER, MASS/ . SEABURY WARREN BOWEN TO PHOEBE VINCENT MILLER/ OCT.31, 1871 . FLORENCE GOULD BOWEN TO HORACE M. GALTAWAY , MAY 1. 1900. BIRTHS: SEABURY WARREN BOWEN BORN JULY 20, 1840, FLORENCE GOULD BOWEN BORN FEBRUAY 17TH, 1873. PHEBE VINCENT MILLER BORN SEPT. 4TH, 1847. DEATHS: SOUTHARD H. MILLER ,OCT. 29, 1895 83 YRS, 9 MINS & 1 DAY. ESTHER GOULD MILLER, OCTOBER 3, 1892, AGED 79 YRS. LIZZIE P. MILLER - AUG. 8, 1880 age 18. REUBEN M. MILLER, JAN. 11, 1884 aged 46. PHEBE J.M. BOWEN - SEPT. 13, 1907. IF YOU ARE A DESCENDANT OF THE MILLER-BOWEN FAMILY, THIS WOULD BE A REAL TREASURE AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DR. BOWEN AS PART OF THE LIZZIE BORDEN TRIAL. THIS BEAUTIFUL BIBLE MEASURES A LARGE 12" TALL X 10" WIDE. 4" DEEP. THIS BIBLE WEIGHS 12 LBS. JUST EXCELLENT. THIS CAME FROM THE FABULOUS RAINES ESTATE IN TENNESSEE AND MRS. RAINES PASSED AWAY AT 93. I BELIEVE SHE WAS KIN TO THIS FAMILY THROUGH MARRIAGES.
