Bowers Family Organization? How does Maria Bowers tie into the family?

This is only one piece of paper which we found, but looks like there used to be a Bowers Family Organization. It looks like there were more pages. One of the individuals listed, Maria Bowers, is the one I do not know how she links to the family. Listed below is how the others tie into the family tree and who they are descendants of:

Raymond Cottrel Bowers - Louis James Bowers Sr.
Eugene Sanders Bowers - Frank Bradley Bowers
Junius Dewitt Bowers - Leo Fullmer Bowers
Audrey Marie Bowers Arthur - Charles Ernest Bowers
Ruth Pixton Bowers Robertson - John David Bowers

Do you know who Maria Bowers is?

I

Located in Salt Lake City Cemetery, B_5_11_1W.

CORRECTION - Esther Fullmer, John Shadrach Bowers and Vera Marie Chamberlin in front of SLC Home

CORRECTION - Pictured in this photo are Esther Fullmer; John Shadrach Bowers; and their daughter-in-law Vera Marie Chamberlin Bowers at their home in Salt Lake City which is on the NW corner of West Temple and Goltz. Vera lived with her in-laws, John & Esther, while her husband Ern (Charles Ernest, the youngest son) was in Europe in World War I. Hence, the flag with the star in the doorway.
