YOUNG WOMAN DIES IN BATHTUB HERE SUNDAY

Miss Florrie Fowler, age 22, an employee of the Thomaston
Bleachery offices, was found dead  Sunday morning about
10:30 o'clock at the residence of her brother, Jesse W.
Fowler.  She had been Ill with influenza during the past
week and it was thought that in her weakened condition
she must have fainted and slumped into a position which
submerged her head in the water. It was 20-30 minutes
before members of the family were alarmed when their
calls to her were not answered and the bathroom door was
forced open.  A Physician made every effort to revive
her, but it was later evident that she must have been
dead when removed from the tub.

She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Fowler, of Woodbury; three sisters, Mrs. Alvis Gordy,
Thomasville, Miss Mattie Fowler, Griffin and miss Elsie
Fowler, Thomaston, and five brothers; Jesse W. and Aubrey
C. of Thomaston, Marvin H. and G.E. Fowler of Woodbury,
and Aldine Fowler, Lake Wales, Fla. Funeral services and
interment were held at Union Hill Methodist Church,
Raleigh, Ga., at 2:30 Monday afternoon. The sympathy of
the community is extended to the bereaved ones in the
tragic loss.
