Subject: [ORUMATIL] James R. Bowler, Battery D, 146th Fireld Artillery, WA, World War I
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2003 09:02:33 -0800


James R. Bowler was born 1895; died April 2, 1987. He is buried in Olney
cemetery in Pendleton, Oregon. James served with Battery D, 146th Field
Artillery, Washington, in France during World War I.

If anyone on the list is a descendant of James R. Bowler, I would appreciate
hearing from you. Can anyone look up an obit in the Pendleton newspaper for
me?

The Walla Walla Valley Genealogical Society is assisting The Loose Cannon
Committee of Walla Walla, Washington, in finding descendants of Battery D.
The Committee is refurbishing two cannons that were used by Battery D during
World War I in France. The cannons are located at Fort Walla Walla Park
when not being refurbished. The Committee is planning a dedication when the
project is completed and would like to invite descendants to assist in the
project and attend the dedication which will probably take place next year.

The Walla Walla Valley Genealogical Society will publish a book honoring
Battery D, 146th Field Artillery which will be completed in time for the
dedication. We would like to include descendants, family histories,
photos and newspaper articles in our book honoring Battery D.

All information given us will be greatly appreciated.

President
