  EDWARD FOWLER, proprietor of a blacksmith shop and owner of a comfortable 
residence and sixteen acres of cultivated land, on the outskirts of Madera, Pa., 
was born in February, 1864, in Clearfield county, and is a son of Ephraim and 
Rachel (Davis) Fowler.
  Both parents of Mr. Fowler were natives of Pennsylvania, the father of Wayne 
county and the mother of Luzerne county.  Ephraim Fowler spent his life mainly 
as a woodsman.  He voted with the Democratic party but never desired to hold any 
public office.  The four children born to Ephraim Fowler and wife were:  Lewis, 
Edward, Ella, wife of Walter Kipp; and Tabitha, wife of Henry Schuyler.
  Edward Fowler attended school in his boyhood and afterward was variously 
employed until the spring of 1886, when he learned the blacksmith trade in a 
shop at Holly, in Wayne county.  For the last twenty-one years he has lived at 
Madera and has built up an excellent business.
  In 1891 Mr. Fowler was married to Miss Edith Hill, a daughter of George W. 
Hill, who was a native of New York.  Mrs. Fowler is the youngest of a family of 
seven children, namely:  Matilda, William, Amanda, Levi, Ashley, Mary and Edith.  
To Mr. and Mrs. Fowler the following children were born:  Joseph A. and George 
W., both of whom are manly and industrious young men who assist their father in 
the shop; and Angie, Kittie, Dewey, Lewis, Agnes and Theodore Roosevelt.  
Perhaps it is unnecessary to state that Mr. Fowler is a stanch Republican.  He 
is a stockholder in the Madera National Bank.
