Spooky spectacles such as a hooded monk next to a baby s cot, objects moving mysteriously and religious writing appearing on walls apparently occurred at Penyffordd Farm in Flintshire.

Today as you drive south down Tennessee Street near the Sigma Chi fraternity at 1439 Tennessee on the west side, there is a Gower Place street sign. Take note of that sign, because it is a reminder of one of Lawrence’s most historically important residents. At one time this site was the residence of Justin DeWitt Bowersock and Mary Gower Bowersock.
I have frequently made the comment that in the 19th and early 20th century there is no one of more importance in the history of Lawrence and Douglas County than Justin D. Bowersock.
