The Maitland Weekly Mercury, 14 December 1901, page 15

The death took place at Newcastle on Wednesday of Mr. W. H. Bowden, one of the founders of Tattersall's Club. Deceased had been aillng some time, and his death was not unexpected. Mr. Bowden was a most popular member of the ring, and the news of his death was received everywhere with regret. His hand was ever in his pocket to assist a deserving case of charity, and he was never known to turn his back on a friend who needed assistance. Of a genial and amiable nature, Mr. Bowden earned the respect and esteem of all classes of the community, and he was universally popular amongst all classes of sporting men. The funeral on Friday afternoon was numerously attended. The committee of Tattersall's Club (including the president), Mr. D. Fisher, and the secretary, Mr. Lou. Solomon) acted as pall-bearers. The coffin was covered with floral tributes sent by sorrowing friends from all parts of the district, and as the mournful procession wended its way towards the Honeysuckle Point station, hundreds of people assembled along the line of march to pay a last tribute of respect to the deceased sportsman. At the graveside the Rev. Mr. Fox delivered a most impressive address, in which he referred to the deceased as a young man who was always ready to alleviate the sufferings of distressed humanity.
