The Saints Herald, December 20, 1905..."Kansas City, Missouri November 28, 1905. I have been thinking it might be of some interest to some of the Saints in Lamoni to know what we are doing in Kansas City, Missouri. Brother Bradley and Goold (his brother's-in-law) and myself and family, with other Saints, have organized a Sunday-School at 38th & Woodland Avenue, called the Ivanhoe Mission Sunday School. We are having the blessings as in days of old. May we all live worthy is my earnest prayer. Your Brother, L.A. Fowler."
Family history states that Lewis' construction company aided in the building of the Stone Church in Independence.

Burial: September 30, 1915. Mound Grove Cemetery, Independence, Missouri. South Block I, Lot 105.
Ordained Elder: September 18, 1910, Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, by F.M. Smith.

L.A. Fowler & Sons...the well known contracting firm of L.A. Fowler & Sons do all kinds of carpentering, cement contracting, brick and job work, while they have one of the most up-to-date cabinet maker's shops in the city (Greater Kansas City, Missouri) They are prepared to submit estimates on anything in wood, brick or cement, basing their estimates on the best class of materials and workmanship that is unexcelled. In the cabinet department, they have done the interior work in some of the city's most elegantly appointed homes, while in the contract department, they built an addition to the famous Baltimore Hotel, the Steele Building and the Young Women's Christian Association. Since establishing in business four years ago, this concern has rapidly forged to the front, and at the present time they give regular employment to fifteen to twenty experts. (1915)
