I have an old photograph of Charles BOWERS Sr. which was taken in the early 1900's at the Houser Studio in Michigan City, IN. Charles appears to be in his teens at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Charles and his family:
Charles William BOWERS was b. 19 Nov 1886 in Medaryville, IN to John Christian BOWERS (1857-1925) and Sophia Marie Friedrike ROTH or RATH (1866-1933) for were married 4 Sept 1882 in Princeton, WV. Charles was one of 8 children born to this couple including Anna Carolina; Charles William; William Carl; Etta; Edward Otto; Cecil William; Margaret “Maggie”; and Hazel Lucele BOWERS, all born between 1884 and 1902.

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
