Obituary published in The Dresden Enterprise, Dresden, Weakley CO, TN, on Friday, June 12, 1903:
Death of Miss Alice Fowler
On Friday morning, last, Miss Alice Fowler, died at her home, east of Dresden. Her death was no surprise to her friends, for the past 8 months, during which time her sufferings were such as few ever have to bear. All that loving brothers, sisters could do, and the skill of five of our best physicians, was powerless to save her. Funeral Services were held at Lebanon church by Eld. J.H. Roulhac, of Union City. The deceased was well known in this county, where she had taught in the public schools for a number of years, and the esteem in which she was held was shown by the beautiful floral designs heaped upon her casket and the large number of friends who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. To them and the neighbors who have been so kind we can never express our gratitude. To Dr. Tatum especially we feel everlasting obligations for his untiring efforts to relieve sufferings. She wanted to live for the sake of those she loved, but expressed her willingness to die; and her patience and faith we have never seen equaled. Written by Eula Glasgow,Orr Springs, Tenn.

Birth date is taken from the 1900 Federal Census Records, Weakley CO, TN, 24th Civil District.
