GARRETT â DeKalb County is poised to receive its fifth official state historic marker approved by the Indiana Historical Bureau â honoring film star John Bowersox, who went by the stage name of John Bowers.
DeKalb County Historian John Bry has made it his mission to obtain more historic markers for the county during his tenure by applying to the state agency that reviews and approves topics of significance from Indiana history.
The historic marker honoring the life and work of Bowersox will be placed in Garrett. It originally was to be completed in 2020 but was suspended due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Bry now is seeking to wrap up the project.
