Hi Stella,
Thanks for your reply. I do know that Robert and his wife, Martha immigrated from Ireland and settled in Bowden. I am told that their homestead was where the Institute stands now. There, his son, Charles was born. I am told he passed away in 1908, not sure why, other than old age.
So, what are Boot Hill Graves? Is there an actual area near Bowden called Boot Hill??
Thanks again,
Vanessa
