In a Facebook post, the Bowman Police Department reported that a man has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to exhume a decades-old marked gravesite at the Bowman Cemetery.
Bowman Park, just north of downtown Three Rivers, is a quiet city park with a playground and a beautiful open space that takes up a full city block.
But unlike almost any other city park across America, it also has a listing on FindAGrave. That s because Bowman Park, more correctly Bowman
Memorial Park is actually a cemetery.
Off in a quiet corner of the park is a gravestone and burial site of Caroline Fellows Bowman Winn. Winn was the daughter-in-law of city father John Bowman, who gave the land to the government.
Because the deed with the city required the park to remain a cemetery, Caroline Winn spends her eternal rest alone on the grounds.
