Biography

William was born in 1889. He was the son of Lorenzo Bowlin and Nora Nabors. He passed away in 1970.

Sources

William told my mother, Betty Bowlin Brown (granddaughter), that as far back as anyone knew, all the Bowlin men were barbers and farmers. He worked as a barber until he was 77 years old, when his hands were no longer steady. He then purchased a package store and ran it until his death. Sailors on leave came straight to his store, which was the closest to the harbor.

William James Bowlin Jr. divorced Hazel Snow Bowlin when Betty Bowlin was about three years old and her brother, Billy Bowlin, was just learning to walk. Great granddaddy and grandmother were disappointed that the marriage failed.

Our family visited great granddaddy in Corpus Christi, Texas, the summer of 1969. He drove us around town, visiting his friends and places of interest. He was kind and so excited to meet us.
