I purchased your book several years ago and picked it up from you at your home.
Have you an updated version of the book? Have you ever considerd posting the book on line? The pictures and illustrations you used, do you have better copies of them. Do you have scanned pictures (better quality).
Granny Bowers, Rebecca Gugin was my GG Grandmother and William Bowers was my GG Grandfather. I was to the Ziska Cemetery this past summer where he is buried. It is an unmarked grave.
I believe Granny Bowers is buried along side Daughter Mary Jane Bowers and her husband Charles White (my Great Grandfather. in the Methodist Church Cemetry in Bracebridge. There graves are also unmarked. As you are aware from the book the Granny Bowers Story, An Anglican Church was errected in Granny Bowers memory, St Peter of Roxbough. The logs that where used to build that church were logs used from a barn that was donated from Mary Jane and Charle White. He actually has his name carved in on of logs at the back of the church.
I am also contacting Gary Bagley as he lives here in Ottawa where I am now living to get pictures of the original William Bowers from Ireland and his offspring.
I would love to exchange information if you are iterested
