Georgia Enterprise, June 17, 1897
DEATH OF M. B. FOWLER
     On Wednesday morning at about 11 o’clock, on June 9th, 1897, Mr. MARTIN B. 
FOWLER departed this life at his home in the city of Covington. Aged about 78 
years. It appears that he was in his usual health and had been out in the 
garden doing a little work and came into his residence complaining of a pain in 
his arms. In a few minutes he grew worse and only lived a short time. His death 
is supposed to have been caused from heart failure.
     Mr. Fowler was a good and noble man, kind and gentle to everybody 
especially so to the poor and needy. He was a Christian gentleman, being an 
Elder in the Presbyterian church. He was a true and loyal Mason, who dealt 
fairly and honestly with all men. He was a public spirited citizen, a member of 
the City Council, whom to know was to admire and love. He leaves a number of 
children and many relatives and friends to cherish his precious memory. The 
funeral services came off in the Presbyterian church Thursday morning at 10:30 
being conducted by Rev. T. B. Trenholm and Rev. Dr. Henry Quigg, after which 
his body was laid to rest in the family section of the city cemetery by the 
side of his wife, who died about two years ago. The floral offerings were 
abundant and beautiful, completely covering the grave. The pall bearers were: 
Messrs. J. M. Dearing, S. P. Thompson, R. L. Loyd, Geo. D. Butler, John W. Peek 
and H. B. Anderson.
     Brother Fowler will be missed and mourned by the people of this entire 
section. For a number of years he was in the milling business at Snapping 
Shoals,  and from there he moved to Covington and built the large mills near 
the depot, now being conducted by Messrs. G. D. Butler and Edward Fowler. May 
flowers of beauty ever bloom above the last resting place of our dear departed 
friend.
