JACOB BOWER was a humble minister in this body at an early period. His membership was at old Hazel Creek Church, as early as 1815. He afterwards became a member of Antioch church, in Todd County, which he probably gathered in 1819, and of which he was pastor, from its constitution till he was succeeded by William Tatum, in 1829. He was also the first pastor of Mt. Pleasant Church in Logan County, of which he also became a member, about 1827. There also, he was succeeded in the pastoral office, by William Tatum, in 1828. He was a short time pastor of Stony Point Church in Logan County, where he was succeeded by Philip Warden, in 1830. This is the last account we have of him. He appears to have been active and useful in the ministry.
