Longtime Mayetta City Clerk Grace Bowser is retiring this month after 28 years of service to the city. A retirement celebration was held for Bowser last Wednesday prior to the start of the city council’s regular monthly meeting. After seeing an ad in The Holton Recorder, Bowser applied for the clerk’s position and was appointed May 1, 1995. “I was running a daycare at that time,” Bowser said. “I had a sister who was a city clerk and a brother who worked for a couple of cities as a maintenance man. I thought I might as well join the ranks.” Bowser said that, after she was appointed, she only received a week’s worth of training from the previous clerk.
