Biographical history

Custodial history

This accession was donated to University of Waterloo Library Special Collections & Archives with the Schantz Russell family papers in 1995. Franklin Abram Schantz was a close friend of Hervey Bowman, who left all his belongings to Franklin when he died.

These records were previously described under collection number GA91A.

Scope and content

Material relating to members of the Isaac Lucius Bowman family, their interests and activities. Some of the most significant local material in the fonds originates with the Bowman family. Isaac Lucius Bowman was born at Freeport in 1830, and was founder and principal of the Freeport Academy from 1867-1872. This very early educational institution is here documented with Proceedings of the Academy, ephemera, and two photographs of the members of the Academy. I. L. Bowman then trained to be a Provincial Land Surveyor, and many of the very early plans and maps in the fonds are from the Bowman Family belongings. Of his four sons, three also became surveyors and Engineers, while Hervey attended the Universities of Toronto and the Leipzig. His files relate mostly to his educational pursuits, but include some other family-related materials.
