Hello Joyce,
Aruna(h) Abell is mentioned on your History of Bradford County by Bradsby, as well as Benejah Allyn., who was married to Nancy Abell, Aruna's sister. I have read that her father was Caleb Abell of Seekonk, Mass., but there is different info here.
The picture I sent of a 1908 Bowen Reunion at Frank and Ann Pendleton's , was either in West Warren or Warren Center PA.
If I can help anymore, let me know. Thank you.

Hello Joyce,
I know of some of the Bowens in this picture. In the front row seated adults: Dexter Chaffee, his wife Maria Bowen Chaffee, Mary Bowen Newman, her husband Nathan Newman, (Martha) Ann Bowen Pendleton, her husband (Charles) Franklin Pendleton, Richard T. Bowen Jr., his wife Henrietta McCrary Bowen, Horace Edgar Bowen, his wife Jessie Allyn Bowen.
The man standing in the back right with an "X", Stanley Bowen, the dark haired woman next to him with an"X" may be Florence Neal, and the woman next to her is Lena Bowen.

Hello Joyce,
This is possibly an Oldsmobile, with my Grandmother, Lena Bowen "Greenwood", and her sister, Cora Bowen "Whitten", in the car, although neither one of them ever drove one. They were from Warren Center, Bradford Cty. PA. Their father, Horace "Ed" Bowen, and brother, Stanley Bowen, are in the background. Maybe around 1910?

The picture at right, is before automobiles, with Lena in the middle, her father, and Florence Neal. 1898
