  2/9/2005: Could not understand the naming of Lewis: Lewis Bowles? Found: the following biography from Orange County GENWEB ( Goodspeed Biography ) Dr. Lewis S. Bowles, was born at French Lick Springs in Orange County, December 8, 1834. He is one of three children, all sons, born to Thomas C. and Anna ( Patton) Bowles, who came from Maryland in an early day and located in Washington Co., Indiana. Thomas C. Bowles, while a young man, went South and for several years had charge of an extensive plantation. Upon his return North he settled in Orange County a short time, but soon after in Washington County; his death occured in 1840. Lewis S. began the study of medicine in 1850, with Dr. T.C. Kelso, at Livonia, in Washington, Co. After attending a course of lectures at the University of Louisville, KY, he began the practice at French Lick Springs, which he continued for eighteen months, then went to Fredricksburg. In 1865 he located at Paoli, and the following year began doing a retail drug trade, with a stock valued at about $ 2,200. In this Dr. Bowles has been more than ordinarily, succesful, and he now has one of the most complete stocks of drugs and druggist's sundries kept in southern Indiana, and is valued at about $ 15,000. He owns about 800 acres of land, and in 1874 built the finest residence in Orange County. His marriage with Ms. Lizzie Andrews ****( here was the clue ) of Fredricksburg, Indiana was solemnized September 25, 1861, and to their union two children have been born, named William T. and James A. He is a ardent Democrat in politics and a member of the Blue Lodge in Masonry. Dr. Bowles has made his own way in life beginning in the practice of his profession with $ 25 of borrowed capital and he is now one of the wealthy and influential men of the county. He has been one of the School Trustees of Paoli for several years and is now a fifth owner in the Orange County Agricultural Association, of which he has been Superintendent ever since its organization in the spring of 1883. Mary Jo Andrews named her son after her sisters husband.
