"For the purposes of establishing a timeline for our Bowers relations in the Choctaw Nation of Indian Territory, I refer to reader to the 1890 Non Citizen Permits for Sugar Loaf County, Choctaw Nation.
For each non-Choctaw, a fee had to be paid in order for the individual to work within the Choctaw Nation. The following persons worked for Polk McAlvain in 1890. D.S. Johnson, Will Bullard, JN. Hardsiak, Walter Hall, W.I. Hatchen, P.E. Potter, W.I. Young, J. Nickle, W.H. Bowerman, Jas. Esoiri, Henry Cate, T. Shiply, T.P. Bowers, Dave Gentry, Sol Rever, JNO. Cretsinger, JNO. Carrel, Seb Edmonson, Seb Long, Peter Rever, JNO. Hall, J.D. Bowers, Bill Cannon, R. Bullard, Logan McGee, G. Bullard.
The J.D. Bowers listed in the 1890 permit roster was John D. Bowers, father of Louisa Matilda Bowers McAlvain.
John Bowers was born in Grainger County, Tennessee in 1837 and his death date is listed as 6 September 1884 in Polk McAlvain's Day Book. Sadly, the place of his death and burial are not recorded."
