Died

At his home in Butler, at 2 o’clock on Thursday morning the 16th inst., 
occurred the death of Capt. Z.A. Fowler.  He was a brother of Capt. John R. 
Fowler, and besides he had many relatives in Taylor and Crawford counties who 
will be pained to learn of his death.  He had been in feeble health for many 
years being a great sufferer from rheumatism, but despite this he was cheerful 
and energetic up to within a few weeks of his death.  He was a life long member 
of the Primitive Baptist church, and lived in the discharge of his ever 
religious duty as he believed it to be, which made him one of the best citizens 
of this community – loved and respected by all who knew him.  He was born in 
Warren County, Ga., Sept. 25th, 1820, and was consequently a little more than 
73 years of his age and the father of nine children, five of whom still survive 
him.  Besides those he leaves an afflicted but faithful companion and many 
friends to mourn their loss.  He was a brave soldier to the late Confederate 
war, and by his courage and wise judgment was made Captain of the Crawford 
County Grays in 1862, and served faithfully in the 6th Georgia Regiment, 
Colquitt’s Brigade, whose armor he laid down not at his own will but at the 
command of his country and now at the command of his Maker he had obeyed his 
call, lays down the armor of life and rests in peace.  He was a gentleman of 
strong convictions and in early life held several other positions of honor and 
trust one of which was to represent Crawford County in the Georgia 
legislature.  He had been a citizen of Butler about 8 years.  The funeral 
exercises of Capt. Zeph Fowler (as he was familiarly known) were performed at 
his late residence by Elder J.R. Respess and his remains interred in the 
cemetery in Butler on Thursday evening surrounded by a large circle of 
sympathizing friends and relatives.  To those who are so sadly bereaved the 
Herald also extends its sympathy.
