DAVID FOWLER died at his home one mile south and half a mile east of
\n Savonburg, August 27th 1906 [Savonburg, KS is between Stark in Neosho Co.
\n and Elsmore in Allen Co on the MKT railroad line.] He was born in Stokes
\n County, North Carolina, June 9th 1831. On the day of his death he was 75
\n years, 2 months and 27 days old. The funeral service was held at the
\n residence on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock conducted by Rev. L. J.
\n Gillham, pastor of the M. E. church of Savonburg, and his remains were
\n laid to rest in the Erie Cemetary. He moved from North Carolina to
\n Illinois and came to Kansas in 1867, thirty-nine years ago. He settled on
\n a tract of land in Neosho County, now known as the Fluber farm. He sold
\n this farm and bought R. G. Craven’s farm six miles north of Walnut, later
\n bought a farm near Savonburg where he lived till he died. He leaves his
\n companion, four children, three brothers, two sisters, nine
\n grandchildren, and kindred and many friends to mourn his death. His
\n children are Mrs. Laura Hedges, Walnut Kansas, James D. Fowler, Stark
\n Kansas, John W. Fowler, Rialto, California, Mrs. E. Smith, Odense,
\n Kansas, Gideon Fowler [brother], Kansas City, and his sisters Mrs.
\n Rebecca Kelso, Havana Kansas and Mrs. Lousetta Dillon, Bloomington, Ill.
\n Early in his life he united with the Christian Church, but later, in
\n 1872, he joined the M. E. Church. He has lived in the country surrounding
\n Walnut for thirty-nine years. His life was linked with every enterprise.
\n He was a hardy pioneer ahd helped to turn the virgin soil, plant trees,
\n build homes, schoolhouses, and churches, and has lived to see this part
\n of the state develop into a rich and fertile country. He was beloved and
\n respected by all who knew him. The aged pilgrim has laid down his staff.
\n His companion, his daughters Laura and Etta and his son James were at his
\n bedside. The clock on the mantle shelf struck eleven. The sun shining
\n bright and clear. He had said farewell, his last farewell to his loved
\n ones, his eyes grew dim, his throbbing pulse ceased and his soul left the
\n body and started all alone on a long journey which has no homecoming in
\n this life. Its destination was to that far off country beyond the sun,
\n moon and stars and the sorrows of earth, where time will not wrinkle his
\n face or shrivel his hands, and whiten his locks. Blessed land of
\n immortality!” <\/p>\n

6. ALFRED FOWLER OBITUARY
\n Unknown paper. Source: Lee Weller <\/p>\n

“Alfred N. Fowler was born in Stokes County, North Carolina, January 31,
\n 1833, and died at the home of his son O. F. Fowler, in Sedalia, Mo., July
\n 5, 1912, aged 79 years, 5 months and five days.<\/p>\n

The deceased moved to Illinois with his parents in 1851. In 1859, he was
\n married to Miss Sarah Lee. To this union were born three children, one
\n being dead. The two living are Web Fowler, who resides somewhere in the
\n West, and O. F. Fowler, who resides at Sedalia, Mo.<\/p>\n

He was the son of William Fowler, and of a family of seven sons and three
\n daughters, all being now dead except his brother Robert who resides in
\n this city and a sister, Mrs. Lusetta Dillon of Bloomington Ill.<\/p>\n

The father, mother and all the children and their families came to Kansas
\n in 1866 and located on farms between Walnut and St. Paul, but most of
\n them near St. Paul. In 1879 the deceased moved to St. Paul where he
\n became the manager and buyer for the Benedict Elevator Company, in which
\n capacity he remained for many years. In the fall of 1875 he was sent to
\n Walnut to buy grain for his company and the next spring he moved his
\n family here where continued the Fowler home until the death of his wife
\n July 21, 1907. Since that time he has made his home with his son in
\n Sedalia. This was a devoted husband and wife and it was hard to see their
\n home broken up by the cruel reaper of death. The deceased was stricken
\n with paralysis last November from which he never fully recovered and
\n twenty-four hours previous to his death he received a second attack from
\n which he never recovered.<\/p>\n

The remains arrived here from Sedalia over the M. K. & T. at 3:10
\n Saturday afternoon and were taken direct to the cemetary where they were
\n laid to rest by the side of his wife in the Walnut cemetary.<\/p>\n

The deceased was a good man and a pioneer of this community. He endured
\n the hardships of pioneer life, and it was nice to see that in his last
\n days he could be so tenderly cared for in the home of his son. This
\n should be a high privilege for any son or daughter to be so situated as
\n to care for a parent in their declining days, for it is always evident
\n that the parents care for their child when the child can not care for
\n itself.<\/p>\n

Mr. [O. F.] Fowler and wife and son Lee, who is contracting agent for the
\n M. K. & T. in Texas, accompanied the remains to this city and in the
\n evening they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Fowler, returning to
\n their home in Sedalia on the Flyer Saturday night.”<\/p>\n

\nGeneral Notes: Husband – William + > Fowler

DIRECT LINE<\/p>\n

William FOWLER was born 13 April 1801 in Stokes Co. NC (now Forsyth County. NC)
\nto Samuel FOWLER and Margaret COFFER.<\/p>\n

On 6 April 1824, in Stokes Co., NC, he married Elizabeth WESTMORELAND, daughter
\nof David S. WESTMORELAND and Rebecca BYNUM. The bondsman was a Marshal FOWLER
\n(not his brother, who was younger than he), witnessed by Matt M. MOORE.<\/p>\n

North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868
\nBride: Elizabeth Westmoreland
\nGroom: William Fowler
\nBond Date: 06 Apr 1824
\nCounty: Stokes
\nRecord #: 01 096
\nBondsman: Marshal Fowler
\nWitness: Matt M Moore
\nBond #: 000138576<\/p>\n

Elizabeth was born 11 May 1808 in Stokes County., NC.<\/p>\n

William’s brother, Marshall, also married Elizabeth WESTMORELAND’s sister,
\nSally Sarah.<\/p>\n

William died of dropsy 26 Dec. 1877 in Neosho Co. KS. Elizabeth died May 8 1893
\nin Neosho Co. KS. Her tombstone in the Fowler Cemeter says she died at 84 yr,
\n11 mo. 28 days.<\/p>\n

William and Elizabeth moved from NC to McLean Co. IL in the year 1853 according
\nto some sources, but John B. had to have been married to Mary Jane JOHNSON in
\nIllinois before 1853. Alfred FOWLER’s obituary gives the family as moving to
\nIllinois in 1851, so perhaps the family was already in Illinois and made the
\nmove to McLean Co. in 1853. They then moved to Walnut, KS in 1867.<\/p>\n

William donated land for the Fowler Cemetery in Erie KS. (GNIS: Fowler Cemetery
\nKS Neosho cemetery 373420N 0950653W Walnut)<\/p>\n

Notes of Pearl Fowler Stewart, cousin to Anna Mary Hedges Weller, provided by
\nLee Weller state:<\/p>\n

“WILLIAM FOWLER of Stokes County, North Carolina, married Elizabeth L.
\nWestmoreland, April 6, 1824. In about 1853 they moved to McLean County,
\nIllinois, where they lived until October of 1866, when they came to Kansas,
\nsettling near Osage Mission, now St. Paul [Neosho Co.], Kansas. They gave a
\ncorner of their farm, about four miles south and west of Walnut for a cemetery.
\nIt was called the Fowler cemetery. They and several of the other Fowlers are
\nburied there. During Elizabeth Westmoreland Fowler’s later years she made her
\nhome with her son Robert W. Fowler and his family. The old family Bible records
\nthe birth of a David Westmoreland on March 1st 1775, which I presume was her
\nfather.”<\/p>\n

\nGeneral Notes: Wife – Elizabeth Louis + > Westmoreland

DIRECT LINE<\/p>\n

Elizabeth was born 11 May 1808 in Stokes County., NC to David S. WESTMORELAND
\nand Rebecca BYNUM. On April 6 1824, in Stokes Co. NC, she married William
\nFOWLER, son of Samuel FOWLER and Margaret COFFER. The bondsman was a Marshal
\nFOWLER (not William’s brother, who was younger than he), witnessed by Matt M.
\nMOORE.<\/p>\n

North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868
\nBride: Elizabeth Westmoreland
\nGroom: William Fowler
\nBond Date: 06 Apr 1824
\nCounty: Stokes
\nRecord #: 01 096
\nBondsman: Marshal Fowler
\nWitness: Matt M Moore
\nBond #: 000138576<\/p>\n

William’s brother, Marshall, also married Elizabeth WESTMORELAND’s sister,
\nSally Sarah.<\/p>\n

William died of dropsy 26 Dec. 1877 in Neosho Co. KS. Elizabeth died May 8 1893
\nin Neosho Co. KS. Her tombstone in the Fowler Cemeter says she died at 84 yr,
\n11 mo. 28 days.<\/p>\n

William and Elizabeth moved from NC to McLean Co. IL in the year 1853 according
\nto some sources, but John B. had to have been married to Mary Jane JOHNSON in
\nIllinois before 1853. Alfred FOWLER’s obituary gives the family as moving to
\nIllinois in 1851, so perhaps the family was already in Illinois and made the
\nmove to McLean Co. in 1853. They then moved to Walnut, KS in 1867.<\/p>\n

William donated land for the Fowler Cemetery in Erie KS. (GNIS: Fowler Cemetery
\nKS Neosho cemetery 373420N 0950653W Walnut)<\/p>\n

Notes of Pearl Fowler Stewart, cousin to Anna Mary Hedges Weller, provided by
\nLee Weller state:<\/p>\n

“WILLIAM FOWLER of Stokes County, North Carolina, married Elizabeth L.
\nWestmoreland, April 6, 1824. In about 1853 they moved to McLean County,
\nIllinois, where they lived until October of 1866, when they came to Kansas,
\nsettling near Osage Mission, now St. Paul [Neosho Co.], Kansas. They gave a
\ncorner of their farm, about four miles south and west of Walnut for a cemetery.
\nIt was called the Fowler cemetery. They and several of the other Fowlers are
\nburied there. During Elizabeth Westmoreland Fowler’s later years she made her
\nhome with her son Robert W. Fowler and his family. The old family Bible records
\nthe birth of a David Westmoreland on March 1st 1775, which I presume was her
\nfather.”<\/p>\n
