  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0662
  H. L. BOWLBY, a well-known educator of Appleton, Wisconsin, who is proprietor of the Actual Business College, an institution with a wide reputation for efficiency, was born on a farm in Wyandot county, Ohio, November 7, 1878, a son of Nelson and, Louisa (Smith) Bowlby, who spent their lives in that state. Mr. Blowlby is the oldest of the five children of his parents, and he was first given a public school education and later entered the Ohio Normal University at Ada, from which he was graduated in 1900 in a scientific course. He then took a business course at Columbus, Ohio, graduating in 1901, and for a short while taught a country school near Columbus, but in 1902 came to Wisconsin and during the two years following was engaged in teaching for Bushey Brothers' Business College. On August 8, 1904, the Actual Business College was established in Appleton by H. L. Bowlby and A. M. Erling, the latter of whom retired January 28, 1911, at which time Mr. M. A. Schwab entered into partnership with Mr. Bowlby. From an enrollment of eight pupils, when the venture was started, the attendance has grown to 160 pupils annually, and the scope of the school has broadened in many ways. The aim of the institution is to fit its pupils to take their place in the business world without being handicapped by an ignorance of business methods, and the hundreds of pupils who have secured lucrative, congenial positions after taking the course testify to the efficiency of the system . In 1906, Mr. Bowlby was married to Miss Carrie Johnston, of Appleton, the estimable daughter of Thomas E. Johnston, and they have had two sons: Claude and Byron. Mr. and Mrs. Bowlby are members of the Congregational Church. He is a Republican in political matters, and his fraternal connections are with the Elks . MAX SCHWAB, a well-known young business man and educator of Appleton, Wisconsin, who with H. L. Bowlby is engaged in conducting the Actual Business College, was born in Two Rivers township, Manitowoc county, Wisconsin, February 3, 1880, a son of Edward and Agnes Schwab, natives of Berlin, Germany, who came to the United States in 1847. Edward Schwab was a farmer by occupation, and on coming to this country took up wild land, which he cleared, making a comfortable home for his family, and at one time owned 160 acres of land. His family consisted of ten children, of whom the youngest was Max. Max Schwab first attended the common schools of Manitowoc county, and then entered the Sheboygan Business College, from which he was graduated. After taking the course at the Scranton school, he represented their course in Wisconsin and Michigan for six years, and on January 28, 1911, formed a partnership with Mr. H. L. Bowlby, in the Actual Business College, a school organized by Mr. Bowlby and A. M. Erling, Mr. Erling leaving the school at the time that Mr. Schwab entered. From 1904, when it was organized, to the present time the school has increased its attendance from eight to 160 pupils, and it is rapidly gaining the reputation of being one of the best schools of its kind in Wisconsin . On January 25, 1906, Mr. Schwab was united in marriage with Carrie Johannes, of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and they have had one daughter, Wilma. The family home during the past four years has been in Appleton .
