DIED.
FowLKR.-At the home of her daughter
in this city, May IL, 1892 of heart fall
ure, Mrs. +. ]. Fowler, aged 70 years.
Mrs. Fowler was born in New York
state. In early life she removed to Indi-
ana, where she was married to A. L.
Fowler of Perrysburg, Ohio, in which
place they made their home for nearly 40
years. She became a widow in 1876
when she came to this place. Here she
made home for her two sons until 1888,
when they went to Michigan City, North
Dakota. There she found new country
without any of the church privileges to
which she was accustomed. She labored
hard and encouraged others until they
organized a church. She took her letter
from the Congregational church of River
Falls and united with the church there.
Seeing the need of church building she
bent all her energies in that direction
and soon a neat little church was erected.
Though not able to be an active worker
herself the success was wholly due to her
stimulating and encouraging others.
As long as the little church stands it
will be monument to her memory.
For the past three years she has spent
large portion of her time with her
daughter, Mrs. Marshall, and last fall
she returned to make her permanent
home with her.
Her whole life has been one of self
sacrificing devotion TO her family, and
when the perfect love Of the Saviour, in
whom she trusted, called her home the
summons found her still ministering to
others.
Her daughter had been absent from
home during the forenoon leaving her in
better health than usual, and returned a
little before noon TO find her mother ly-
ing upon the floor, the peace which pass
eth all understanding written ineflace-
ably upon every feature.
She leaves one daughter, Mrs. w. p.
Marshall of this place, and three sons
w. III. Fowler of Snider, Illinois, w. S.
Fowler of Michigan City, North Dakota,
and Frank A. Fowler of Minneapolis.
Mimi, and many warm friends to mourn
her loss.
