I extracted all Bower variations. Underlined means that is the exact spelling from the CD. My experience is that this CD index can be very helpful, although sometimes I can't find the pages they have listed. But it's better than no index at all!:

BAUER
Posted by James Bauer on Tue, 7 Apr 1998 -jimbauer@worldnet.att.net
Looking for any information that would aid in tracing ancestors of Frank G. BAUER, born May 8, 1843 in Germany (possibly Baden). Emmigrated to USA in very early 1860's, living initially in Uniontown, PA before settling in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, by 1870.
Married Bertha F. Bussmann, born August 14, 1844, in Prussia (possibly Paderborn). Bertha arrived in the U.S. with her mother and brother in June 1851.
Marriage produced five children: Augustus Frederick (1868), Stella M. (1870), Aloysius F. (1874), Clementine (1877) and Bertha Theresa (1880).
Frank was employed for about 20 years in Pittsburgh by Joseph Lautner & Company, a wholesale dealer in special builders hardware, iron, glass, blacksmith, saddlers, and wagon makers supplies.
