Hello friends -
My gr-grandfather was a brother of Sarah Elizabeth Derr Bowling, who is buried in a cemetery in Gause, Milam County, TX. Her husband, John Camillus Bowling, is also buried there. They had several children.
My Questions:
1) Are there any known descendants of Sarah & Camillus still living in the Gause area? (If yes, pls feel free to give them my contact info.)
2) Do you have any references to the Bowling family (particularly Sarah & Camillus) in your local history?
3) Do you have any images of the Bowling family you can share with me?
I have performed a lot of research re: Sarah's Derr family in Iowa & am happy to share info.
Also - It looks like there are a couple of cemeteries in Gause. I believe Sarah & Camillus are in the Gause City Cemetery. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you very much.

Good morning. I saw your request via the Milam County Historical Association.
I have done extensive research on the Gause Cemetery and am still in that process. I have an Ancestry tree on Ancestry.com <http://ancestry.com/> that is for the Gause Cemetery. I do have the Bowling family included.
The Bowling family was very large and so many descendants do live in the area still (Roper, Ely and Todd families to name a few) and many are buried in the Gause Cemetery.
I do have some pictures from a couple of local books and other sources.
Sincerely,
Holly Jentsch

Hi Holly -
I have spent the last couple of hours working w/ the historical data you sent me & I am still digesting it all. I need to fill out citation info for some of the material you sent.
1) It looks like several items - including the Bowling Gin 1910 photo, various Bowling family biographies, Leon Bowling family photo 1944, Helen Bowling & friends photo - are from the same local history publication.
What is the name of the publication?
When, where & by whom was it published?
Is this publication still available for sale? If yes - can you give me details re: cost, contact info for purchase, etc.
2) "Bowling." Rudy Bowling death notice - news clipping. What newspaper is this from?
Where was the newspaper published?
What date?
If possible - what page?
I think I am good w/ the rest.
Again,Holly - I cannot thank you enough for your research, the time spent on my behalf, & your caring about local history. The data you sent truly helped fill some holes in my family history research.
Warmest regards.
Lynn
