table deed is done by any person, corpo
ration or association, it is always pleas
ing to know that the action has been no
ticed.”

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1920.
Early Sketch of City
Found in Cleveland
Anew antique manuscript that has
been found is an autobiography by Abra
ham Bowen, written nearly fifty years
ago.
The book was discovered by Charles
E. Bowen, of Cleveland, Ohio, of the
Guarantee Title and Trust Company.
Mr. Bowen, who was formerly a resi
dent of Indianapolis, is a grandson of
Abraham Bowen.
Abraham Bowen came to ludinnnpo.ls
in 1821, when there were only three log
cabins In the site of Indianapolis.
The sketch is typical of the quaint
spelling and stiff phrasing of that time.
There is no mention of the XlcCormlcUs,
but the Pogues are Included in his ac
quaintances.
He says that he was “the first heir'
of a family of twelve children.
He states that he moved to In liana
with his wife and her father’s family In
1820 to the place where Newcastle now
Is.
“In the winter of 1821,” the sketch
reads, “J. XX'Ultlnger, D. Ray and myself
came to where Indianapolis now is, and
there we saw three log cabins.
He names his acquaintances at the first
seeing of Indianapolis as I>. Yandia, J.
XX'ilkins, Fletchers, Nolands, Pogues,
XX'lllsons, Patlsons, Wests, Cazle, Bran
hills, McCurdys and P. Sullivan.
