1898 ONU student W.J. Bowden intrigues AOHS members
An 1898 textbook owned by W.J. Bowden has connected a Youngstown thrift store shopper with Ada Ohio Historical Society members on Facebook. Danielle Stoner reached out for information and with the help of Beth Gray learned that Stoner was an Ohio Northern University student who studied under Professor JB Gregg.
Bowden's notes in cursive include the price of the book (95 cents), biographical information about Galileo and Isaac Newton, and his "natural philopsophy" grades.
