(Cyrus, Alfred, Levi, Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah, Elkanah, Thomas, Robert). Daughter of Cyrus S. Cushman and mary (Asher) Cushman. Not sure of this connection. There is no record of her in the family graves at Sherman Cemetery #2, Sherman Mills, Aroostook Co. ME. Consider this placeholder... There are too many Louis J Cushmans! and…this may be a Louisa who had a prior marriage to a Cushman?? --Massachusetts Marriages for Louisa J Cushman at Family Search.org shows she married James W. Stearns on 116 Aug 1859, in boston, MA. He was age 74, so is estimated to have been b. ca 1785. The marriage record shows her mother as Sarah. and father as Cyrys S.13245 But she is about the same age as her father?? There is another Mass marriage record showing a Louisa J Cushman with same parents marrying 16 Aug 1859 a James W. Stearred age 74, b ca 1785??? With him at age 74 and her at age 23, this is quite an age disparity but it is what is recorded on the marriage record. ?? There is a Louisa J Cushman who became a second spouse to William Anson Bowyer in 1858. His first wife lived only two years after their marriage, as he is shown as marrying 2nd a Louisa J Cushman.13246 There is another Louisa J Cushman daughter of Frances Cushman and Agnes who married a Wallace A Mcgee on 8 Sep 1867 in Middlebury, VT13247 Note the Louisa Bowyer m. to Wm A Bowyer, minister, in 1880 census at lexington, Stark, OH is b. ca 183813244
Consider this a place holder as we may not have him connected up to the right Louisa J Cushman.
He was born in Farmington, Trumbull County, Ohio, February 2d, 1835. He was son of William Harvert Bowyer and Mary Jenkins. His father's people immigrated from the eastern part of Pennsylvania, and his mother's from the State of Massachusetts, at an early date, and were among the first settlers of Trumbull County. In the fall of 1854 he left home and went to Minnesota, where he spent his time working at whatever came to his hand in that pioneer country, until the fall of 1856, when he returned to Ohio. On November 17th, 1854, a few weeks after his arrival in Minnesota, he formed a matrimonial alliance with Julia A. Smith, who also went from Ohio. She died of typhoid fever, December l0th, 1856, soon after their return to Ohio. On June 24th, 1858, he was again married to Louisa J. Cushman. In the month of August, 1857, he was licensed to preach, and was employed by the presiding elder, as an assistant, to preach on Thompson Circuit, in the Erie Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In February, 1860, he left his native country again and went to the State of California, where he remained until the fall of 1861, spending the larger portion of his time in the ministry. While engaged in this work his health again failed, and he returned to the place of his nativity, in Ohio, and was unable to follow any kind of employment for a period of three years. In the spring of 1863, his health having returned, he united with the Allegheny Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Connection, where he labored successfully until the spring of 1866, when he dissolved his connection with that body and united with the Erie Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he labored faithfully and successfully during a term of five years. In the winter of 1871 his health again failed, and he was obliged to retire from the regular ministry. His wife at the same time was an invalid, having suffered for more than six years with pulmonary consumption, and having been given up by her friends and physicians as a hopeless case. His anxiety for her recovery induced him to give his attention to the study of medicine, which led to the discovery of a remedy the use of which, to the astonishment of all her acquaintances, caused her to recover rapidly until she was restored to remarkably good health (which she still (1876) retains after the lapse of nearly four years). He then began to manufacture the medicine for the use of others afflicted in like manner, who used it with the most satisfactory results; and it was soon found that his discovery possessed the most wonderful virtues, and he saw a grand field open in which he could perform a large amount of good by making the manufacture of his remedy a business, which he is now (1876) doing in Cleveland, Ohio. His discovery for the cure of consumption consists of two special remedies, which are called Life Balsam for the Lungs and Tonic Compound for the Blood, and both together are named Bowyer's Specific Remedy for Consumption and General Debility. His study and extensive research into the science of medicine has also resulted in the discovery of a very superior remedy for pain, which is known as Bowyer's King of Pain. 13251
