 DEATH OF DEACON E. D. FOWLER.
 Deacon Edwin D. Fowler died yesterday at noon, aged If years. His health had been poor for long time, but he was confined to his room but few weeks. He one of our most respected citizens, and his honesty was above reproach. He has been engaged in the jewelry and clock trade and paper hanging business for about fifty years and in all that time one has ever had reason to doubt his word, in business out of busi- ness. He member of the Second church and has from his younger days al ways been regular attendant, wherever be might be at church services. A very liberal man with his purse at all times, he was quiet in his ways, but very firm and steadfast in his opinions. He was elected deacon of the Second church shortly after the organization of the society and has held that position ever since, always doing his duty faithfully and never shirking. He was faithful friend and good neighbor. He leaves wife with whom he has lived most happily for over half century, who will mourn the loss of @ kind husband. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
