MRS. ADINA C. FOWLER

   Mrs. Adina Councill Fowler died suddenly from a heart attack at her home 
in Clay Street early Wednesday morning in her 68th year.  Although she had not 
been in good health for some time, her death was totally unexpected and she 
survived the attack only a few minutes.

   Mrs. Fowler, who was a highly estimable woman, a good neighbor and a 
consistent member of the Franklin Baptist Church for many years, was the 
daughter of the late Captain Joseph G. Councill and Mrs. Indiana Virginia 
Councill of Isle of Wight County. Her husband, J.A. Fowler, a well-known 
contractor of this town, died about five years ago.

   Surviving members of her family are three sons, A.B. Fowler of Waynesboro, 
Penn., Joseph Fowler of Doswell, Va. and Jack Fowler of Washington; four 
daughters, Mrs. Henry Duck and Miss Ursula Fowler of Franklin, Mrs. J. Shelby 
Allen of Doswell, Va., and Mrs. Paul K. Cummins of Cradock, Va.  There are 
several grandchildren, and brothers and sisters of Mrs. Fowler are: J.G. 
Councill, John Councill, Mrs. Gertrude Weaver and Mrs. Anna Councill Burgess 
of Norfolk, U.M. Councill and Mrs. Ida Councill of Richmond, Hudson Councill 
and O.M. Councill of Suffolk, besides a large family connection in the town 
and community.

   Funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock from 
the residence in Clay Street by her Pastor, the Rev. R.D. Stephenson, favorite 
hymns being sung by members of the Baptist Church choir, and interment was 
made in the family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery.  Active pallbearers were: 
L.J. Fisher, M.H. Moore, Dr. R.L. Raiford, Geo. H. Parker, R.I. Beale, Harry 
Steinhardt, M.G. Councill and E.C. Smith.  Honorary bearers were selected from 
a number of friends on the family.
