Milton Bowers. He was a respected citizen of Maine, Broome, New York, throughout his life, took an active part in community affairs and kept a store there for a short time. He had an attractive personality and was noted for his caustic wit which he inherited from his grandfather Andrew Taylor. For some time, while a bachelor, he resided with his sister Achsah Ann Bowers in the family house at Bowers Corners (near Maine, N.Y.). In mid- life he married a widow but had no children. He died of tuberculosis at the age of fifty-eight in 1900. Tuberculosis was a tendency inherited perhaps from the Dinsmore ancestry. (Ref: Our American Ancestry, written by Frederick Taylor Gates)
