BiographyCowan was born in 1840 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and died in 1926 in Clevedon, United Kingdom. In the UK census he described himself as a civil engineer[2] and a farmer.[3] Cowan travelled to the US several times[4] and in 1900 settled in Monterey. Cowan founded the Beekeepers' Association with Charles Nash Abbott (1830-1894) in 1874: "For the Encouragement, Improvement and Advancement of Bee Culture in the United Kingdom, particularly as a means of bettering the Condition of Cottagers and the Agricultural Labouring Classes, as well as the advocacy of humanity to the industrious labourer – the Honey Bee."[5] Cowan designed the cylindrical honey extractor. He was the editor of the British Bee Journal and the Bee Keepers' Record.[6] Cowan authored books on beekeeping and related topics[7] and was a collector of beekeeping books. Upon his death, his library numbered more than 1,800 books, which formed the basis of the Cowan Memorial Library.[8] References1. ^{{cite magazine|title=COWAN, Thomas William|magazine=Who's Who|year=1907|volume= 59|page=397|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yEcuAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA397}} 2. ^1861 UK Census and 1871 UK Census 3. ^1881 UK Census 4. ^UK departure records 5. ^History of the BBKA 6. ^Western Daily Press, Wednesday 1 September 1926 7. ^[https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:%22Thomas+William+Cowan%22] 8. ^The Times (London, England), Monday 23 December 1929 External links
