M. E. Bowlin |

Probably
(Mary) Etta Bowlin
Probably: Oct.22, 1886-Nov.
10 1886
As you can see, there are pieces missing. We are still looking. Our best guess on current information is that this is probably Mary Etta Bowlin daughter of James Amos Bowlin and Alice Green (both buried at Tennessee Community Cemetery) and granddaughter of William Marion Bowlin and Elvira Elizabeth Risinger (also buried at Tennessee Community Cemetery.) The dates seem to come closest to fitting the following reference.

"Etta Bowlin, born 26 August 1886 in Shelby Co., Texas, died in infancy
after 1887 (?) in Shelby Co., Texas, and was buried in Bradley Springs
Cemetery, Shelby Co., Texas. Etta Bowlin died as s small child."
Note that while the dates do not match, the come closest to any
of the other dates and this is the only tombstone with an E. The
tombstone which included the date: 26 Aug 1886 has it as a birth/death
date. And the name looks like it ends in ULL or UEE. If other
evidence comes to light, we will post the information here.

Our Dead: Shelby County
Texas 1836-1964
by J. B. Sanders
says on page 28
"Bowlin, A.E.bd 1866
93"
93 is the Bradley Springs
designation. We suspect that he was working with a broken stone even
then and that the A he saw was actually a part of the M. The 1866
instead of 1886 was probably a slip of the pen.
