Note 2
MRS. CANIZA BOWIE. The resistless call of death was felt in another Newport home Sunday, when the spirit of Mrs. Caniza Bowie, aged 65 years, passed away at 1:23 o'clock. The deceased had been an invalid for several years, having been confined to her bed for the past four months and her death was caused by a complication of troubles.
Thus the troubles of life and ills of body are ended and to the reward above, another soul has winged its way. Even in suffering the virtues of the deceased were ever reflecting the goodness that was hers to possess and the son and grandson can but feel keenly the missing help of motherly affection. To them goes out the heartfelt sympathy of many friends. May the comfort of knowing that the deceased has passed into her Heavenly home prove a solace for their grief.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E.P.J. Garrott, pastor of the Baptist church, of which the deceased was a worthy member, assisted by Rev. M.B. Umsted, were held from the home at 4 p.m., burial following at Walnut Grove.
The deceased was born near Jackson , Tenn., Oct.4, 1840, her maiden name being Miss "Carriza" Reeves. She was married to Mr. James Bowie (Buie) in 1859 in Mississippi and came to Arkansas fifteen years ago. Newport has been the family's home for twelve years and one son, Arthur (Bowie) and grandson, Fred (Seaton) survive the deceased.
