"HARRISON FOWLER- was born in Kanawha county, West Virginia, June 8, 1812, and 
came to this county with his parents in 1815.  His parents were Elijah and Jane 
(Bogan) Fowler.  When they settled in Gallia county it was in a very wild state;
no roads, mills, or any conveniences.  His father taught school, and was the 
first justice of the peace elected in Guyan township.  Harrison Fowler, by hard 
work and careful management, has obtained a large farm, located in Guyan 
township, which is in first-class condition.  He was married in this county, 
October 10, 1840, to Aromenta mart, who was born in Giles county, Virginia, 
June 16, 1818; her death took place in December, 1863.  Her parents were 
Nathaniel and Lydia Mart, settler of this county in 1825.  The children of Mr. 
Fowler are: Anda L., born October 7, 1841, died in January, 1864; William F.,

the late war; Anda Lewis served six months, and died of typhoid fever in 
Tennessee; William served two years and six months, and died from disease 
brought on by hardships endured in the Lynchburg raid.  Mr. Fowler's postoffice
