***"Quote from Rosa Powers in her History of the Cowman family"
Rosa Powers was the daughter of Eldora Elwood (sister of
Sarah Rebecca Elwood)
There is also a copy of a copy type photo in this "book" of Margaret
Cowman Elwood, Alvy Franklin Elwood and James Amos Elwood.
"Joseph Cowman was the writers great grandfather, and the writer was
personally acquainted with him.He was a Methodist, a man of noble
Christian character. He was known to his friends and neighbors by the
name of 'Uncle Joe'. Not long ago I heard my uncle say that grandfather
Cowman was a peace maker; friends and neighbors would often bring their
difficulties to him for adjustment, always willing to abide by his
judgment. I also heard my father say that no better man ever lived than
Uncle Joe Cowman. He was a leader in the church and Sunday school, and in
the absence of the minister he could well fill the pulpit. He was not a
licensed preacher as we have now days, but known in those days as an
exorter; and was often called upon to officiate at funerals. He also took
an active part in township and community affairs. He was a worthy man
that anyone would do well to pattern after. Grandmother Cowman was of the
same high Christian character.
