OBIT: Fowler, 1904 - Crittenden Co, KY -------------------------------------------- From: Brenda Jerome Date: Sun, 18 May 1997 -------------------------------------------- Crittenden Press 11 Feb 1904 Uncle John Fowler One of Crittenden Pioneer Citizens Gone to This Reward John Fowler, the venerable uncle of Wm. Fowler, the banker, and Mrs. Crow and Mrs. Gilbert, all of this city, died at the home of his grand niece, Mrs. S.R. Adams, in this city, last Monday evening, in his 89th year. Mr. Fowler was born on the Stephen Fowler farm, afterwards called the James Fowler farm, Sept. 15th, 1815. He spent the past 10 years with Mrs. Julia E. Wilborn, another niece, who lived in the country near town until Nov. 16th last, when he decided to come to town for the winter. He lived here since that time with Mrs. Crow, a niece, and her daughter, Mrs. S.R. Adams. He was buried by the Masons Tuesday afternoon at Pilot Knob, which is not over one mile from he was born. Mr. Fowler was stricken with pneumonia about 10 days ago and although attended by the best medical aid obtainable, his advanced years made his demise almost a foregone conclusion from the start. Mr. Fowler was a great hunter and in his day killed more game probably than any man that ever resided within the county, frequently bringing in turkeys and deer enough to supply the family a month with wild meat. Mr. Fowler was never married but in early days had a sweetheard who married another, which probably caused him to swear eternal celibacy. [Note: John Fowler is buried at Pilot Knob Cemetery, Crittenden Co, along with other members of his family, including his brother, James M. Fowler (27 Nov 1805 - 22 Jul 1886). Pilot Knob Cemetery is on land that once belonged to Stephenson Fowler, father of John and James Fowler, and it is likely that Stephenson Fowler and wf Eleanor are also buried there.] ***************************************************************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
