Mary Cope Bowyer's obituary, newspaper unknown, probably Marlboro County,
South Carolina, probably 11 September 1925, Obituary for Mrs. Mary W.
Bowyer. The obituary had been taped into the Bible that had originally
belonged to Mamie Bowyer Kanipe. The front piece of the Bible is covered up
with a picture so it is impossible to get information about the Bible.
There is no information about the obituary, no paper is identified and no
date for the paper/obituary is found. Mary Stephens Scrudder took a
photograph of the obituary July 2005.
