Butler, Ga. March, 1882 Vol. 4 No. 3

Charles E. Fowler, son of Capt. J. B. Fowler, of Butler,
departed this life on the 13th of December, 1881, after a
severe and protracted spell of typhoid fever. He was bom in
this county on the 16th of February, 1867. Charlie was a
good boy; steady, industrious, truthful, and obedient to his
parents. He chiefly cultivated my orchard in Taylor County
this past year, doing his work faithfully and well. He was
apprehensive all the year that he would take the fever,
seeming to be forewarned of it, and that he would die.
Certainly it must be the Lord's work to thus forewarn of
coming events; and it must be for the good of the
forewarned; to prepare them for the change. So we hope
Charlie was prepared. His death was a very serious blow to
his parents and family, which we trust the Lord will
sanctify to their good. We were present at bis burial, and
tried to speak words of comfort to his family and friends.
Peace to his ashes!

Elder John Richard Respess

(Son of Captain John Blackstone Fowler, Co. F, 57th Regiment
Ga. Infantry and Susan Matilda Hammock Fowler. Charlie is
buried at Butler Memorial Cemetery) (Obituary also in BUTLER
