BREMEN — Otis R. “Doc” Bowen, who rose from a rural Fulton County upbringing to the apex of state leadership and eventually into the national spotlight, died Saturday.
He was 95.
“I think to the people of Marshall County, he was above politics,” David Holmes, county GOP chair, said Sunday. “If you were a Democrat or a Republican, I don’t think it made much difference. You were a fan of ‘Doc’ Bowen.”
Bowen died at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday at Catherine Kasper Life Center in Donaldson, Ind.

Maybe the problem would miraculously heal itself. After all, I was a young college student and did not have the money for a mechanic.
Every time I slid in behind the wheel of my Ford Escort wagon I prayed that I would somehow make it to my destination.
