Notes about William Edward Bowles

William Edward Ebel né Bowles

Sources: obiit.

Sunset Mem. Park records.

He was baptized with his siblings at a Rocky River Methodist Episcopal Church in Rocky River, OH.

There was a later baptism that included his youngest 1/2 sister, Annie, was baptized also. That later baptism might have included only those not baptized earlier.

Adopted by Ernest G. Ebel 3 July, 1923, Cleveland, OH Cause of death = Fall from a scafold on a water tower under construction. I believe it was being built in N. Olmsted. Died at Bay Village Osteopathic Hospital.

Buried at Sunset Memorial Park.

Address 21 Aug 1943: 4081 Rocky River Dr Cleveland OH

It may be that William Edward Bowels Ebel was christened twice as a child. Her brother, Joe's memorial card has date of baptism = 19 Jun 1910. Also, Uncle Joe says all of the children were baptised when Aunt Annie was a baby at a Methodist Chr in Cleveland OH.

William's sister, Lela Rose Bowles' christening certificate is for the same date, 19 Jun 1910 + Uncle Joe saying the entire family was baptized at the same time would mean that Joe was baptized at the Rocky River M. E. Chr. in RockyRiver, OH. The other living sibling at that time was Martha. It is my hypothesis that all 4 children were baptized on the same day. The parents might have been baptized on that date too. The records at the church were destroyed by fire in 1925. I too remember seeing a photograph of a larger family with a baby, probably Aunt Annie (b. 1918) being held by a clergyman. If this were a baptismal photograph, possibly all of the children were baptized together circa 1919. The older ones might then have been rebaptized.
