Mrs. Anna Fowler, an Honored Lady, Dead at a Ripe Age.
Among Oldest Residents
Her Long Life Spent in This Vicinity. Active for Many Year in Church and Charitable Work -- Four Children Survive Her.
After an illness lasting three weeks, during which she suffered much. Mrs. Anna Fowler one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of this section, died last evening at 4:30 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Peter Allison, West Sixth street. Though she bore her sufferings with true Christian fortitude, the strain was too great for her frail body, and she lost consciousness Sunday afternoon, never reviving. Mrs. Anna Fowler was born June 30, 1822, at Carrollton, Ohio, and had she lived until her next birthday would have been 86 years of age. She was the daughter of John Pugh, at one time prominent citizen of Hancock county, West Virginia, both father and mother having died many years ago. When yet a young girl Mrs. Fowler removed with her father to a farm in West Virginia only a few miles from the Ohio river near Fairview. She was married to William Baker Fowler November 14, 1838, and for a number of years resided on the Fowler homestead in Hancock county. Of this union six children were born, the following of whom are still living; J. Q. A. Fowler, of Steubenville, R. Patterson Fowler, of Barberton; W. Smith Fowler, and Sarah Elizabeth Allison, of this city. The family removed to East Liverpool in 1866, locating at 226 Sixth street. At that early date few other buildings marked the hill section of East Liverpool, and the Fowler home was a landmark. Mr. Fowler embarked in the grocery business in a portion of the same building, and for 27 years occupied his time in ministering to the needs of the public in that time. He died February, 1898, after attaining his 83d year. Mrs. Fowler remained at the old home until 1901 when she went to the home of her only daughter, in sight of her former residence, where the remainder of her life was spent. Mrs. Anna Fowler united with the Presbyterian church when a young girl and her long life has been one of usefulness and well worthy of emulation. When she came to East Liverpool the church here was small and the congregation few in numbers. Being in vigorous health at the time she entered upon an active life in the Christian work, being associated with and a coworker of the late Mrs. Curry, founder of the West End chapel. She never last interest in the movement and even after she was unable to attend services regularly was a liberal and frequent contributor to church and mission causes. Mrs. Fowler had eleven grand children and sixteen great - grandchildren. At the death of her mother, when she was but two years of age, Mrs. Fowler brought one of her grandchildren, Mrs. Cris McConnell, to her own home, where she remained until her marriage in 1892, being cared for as a daughter. She also raised Mrs. Martha Smith, who has been a resident of this city for many years. Funeral services will be conducted from the Allison home at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev. Dr. E. M. McMillian, pastor of the First Presbyterian church will officiate, and will be assisted by Dr. J. C. Taggart of the First United Presbyterian church. Interment will be made in Riverview cemetery.
