Robert "Bob" Louis Cowles

Robert “Bob” Louis Cowles, 91, of Ossian went to be with the Lord on October 21, 2023. He passed away at his home on a beautiful fall day, doing what he loved most—farming.

Bob was born on November 12, 1931 to Lulu (Miller) and Park Cowles, and was the second of five children. He attended Dover Township School, a one-room schoolhouse. In 1939, the Cowles family purchased land south of Ossian and Bob farmed there until the day he died. Over the course of his life he farmed corn and beans, milked cows and raised hogs and beef cattle.  He enjoyed riding horses in his younger days and always had food or a treat (and maybe even a pet, if he could get close enough!) for the barn cats.
