Bowles family?

I am trying to do research about the Bowles family, including Dr. Edward Arthur and his wife, Loetta and their son, Arthur.
Both Loette and Arthur lived in Omaha in the 1931-1932 time frame, but then I lost them.
I've been told that Dr. Bowles ran the Blue Valley Hospital and died in 1927. His wife worked with him and their son, Arthur, became a doctor.
After EA Bowles died, he was sent to Detroit for burial, but I cannot find the exact cemetery of burial.
Does anyone know where Dr. Bowles is buried and/or what happened to his wife and son?

Thank you!
Vikki in Omaha

Hi Vicki in Omaha, this is Jean from Wahoo.
I find that in 1929, Arthur had a car accident, with one person killed and one injured. Leotta paid $5000 in a court settlement. In 1935, Arthur went to a party in Tyrone Pennsylvania, with an artist's model, and died of a narcotics overdose (July 31, 1935).
Make some serious inquires at Woodmere Cemetery, Detroit, as this is where Arthur's brother, Ward Bowles (1884-1913) is buried. Ward died in the Philippines. Probably the Philippine Insurrection?
Happy Hunting.
Not sure about Leotta
