Description
Portrait photograph of Ida Florence (Henkel) Painter in her later years.
She was the only child born to Martin Mowrey and Barbara Ellen (Bowman) Henkel. She spent her earliest years near New Market on what became the Endless Caverns Farm. When she was nine years old, her family moved to County Line, three miles west of Timberville.
Ida (Henkel) Painter was a descendant of John Cook, whose daughter married Joseph Bowman, one of the first settlers in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Her Henkel ancestors were also among the first to arrive and settle the area.
Her first husband was Casper C. Bowman (1870-1922), a farmer from Rockingham County, whom she married in 1898.
After he died, she married Garnett Painter (1880-1960), also a prominent farmer in the Timberville area, in 1927.
They lived on "Indian Fort Stock Farm" in Hamburg, a few miles south of Edinburg, when she died.
