yesterday(25,Sept,1906). East Liverpool loses another
pioneer christian woman--one whose life was devoted to
the church and to charity.
Mrs. Fowler was 82 years old. Her death was due the
infirmities of old age. She was sick three weeks and
unconscious for 58 hours before her death.
Mrs. Fowler was born at Carrollton, O. June 30,1822.
Her mother died when she was an infant, and her father
the late John Pugh, died several years ago. Her
husband, W. B. Fowler conducted a grocery store for 27
years at No. 226 Sixth street. He died eight years
ago.
The deceased united with the First Presbyterian church
when she was a child and until she became enfeebled by
old age was one of the most active members.
Besides Mrs. Peter Allison, the following children
survive: Smith Fowler, the well known business man
and capitalist, of this city; Patterson Fowler,
Barbertown, and J.Q.A. Fowler of Steubenville.
Mrs. Martha J. Smith and Mrs Chris McConnell, both of
this city, are foster children of the deceased. All
were at her bedside during her illness and when she
died.
The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday from the
Allison residence, the Rev. Dr. E.M. McMillen
officiating. He will be assisted by the Rev. Dr. T.W.
Lane and the Rev. Dr. Taggart. Interment will be at
Riverview.
The body will lie in state from 8 until 10 o'clock
