Your Nephew Shawn has inherited many of your excellent qualities and is passing them on to his sons. God Bless to Kerry, Mark and Carolyn and all of your family.

On this day in Henry County history, May 6, 1986, Dr. Lynn Bowers and Dr. Mark Smith each received 2,017 votes for a New Castle school board seat. The tie was ultimately broken by Henry Circuit Court Judge John Kellam, who said Bowers was doing an outstanding job as Henry County Health Officer and Smith likewise as a school board member, so the two should remain in their current positions. Dr. Bowers later served on the school board for several years and was board president at times. Over the years he served as an officer in the Henry County Health Department, the Director of Henry County March of Dimes, a Pediatric Consultant for the New Castle State Developmental Center, as well as the Co-Director of the Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Children’s Home. Dr. Bowers died Feb. 18, 2010, at the age of 64. Dr. Smith served on the school board for 21 years, and was a surgeon for 31 years. He died July 8, 1989, from injuries in a car accident June 27, the same accident that resulted in the death of his wife, Jan a few days earlier.BASKETBALL LIVES HEREThis Day In Henry County history is brought to you by Destination Henry County Indiana.
