     Elder George Hartwell Fowler, 85, died yesterday at the home of his

     Elder Fowler was a retired farmer and elder of the Mars Hill Primitive
Baptist Church in Brantley County.
     Besides Mrs.Johnson, he is survived by two other daughters, Mrs.Evie Sykes,
Folkston, and Mrs.Vera Howell, Waycross; four sons, W.A.Fowler,Sr., Alma,
H.D.Fowler, Blackshear, James C.Fowler, Warner Robins, and E.G.Fowler, Waycross;

sisters, Mrs.Ophelia Nelson and Mrs.Alice Davis, both of Jacksonville, and
Mrs.Sue Lamphy, Waycross; 31 grand-children and 30 great grand-children.
     Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 at Ben James
Church in Pierce County with burial in the church cemetery.
     The body will remain in the Chapel of Hinson-Miles Funeral Home until six
o'clock this afternoon when it will be taken to the residence of Mrs.Johnson
where it will lie in state until time for the funeral.

Additional Comments:
     Elder Fowler's middle name is Hartford not Hartwell. His obituary and death
certificate incorrectly has his name as Hartwell.  Elder Fowler's personal
family bible, in his own handwriting, has Hartford as his middle name.  Elder
Fowler also has several descendents named after him with Hartford being their
name. 

     A family sketch of Elder Fowler's family was published in the June 2003
issue of the Huxford Genealogical Society,Inc.Magazine and includes a photo of
the family.  The sketch also incorrectly has his middle name as Hartwell.

     Elder Fowler moved his family from Alachua Co.,FL to a farm in the
Hacklebarney Community of Pierce Co. in the 1920's.
