He was born in Pulaski, Tennessee, and he was reared and lived there until eighteen years of age, coming in the later seventies to Texas and to Spring Hill in Navarro County, where he was employed in the store of T. P. Sparks, now a prominent retired merchant of Waco. It was while employed in that store that he decided to take up the study of medicine and entering the medical department of Vanderbilt University at Nashville, he graduated with its class of 1882, and at once began the practice of his chosen profession at Dawson in Navarro county, his field until 1885. and he then located at Paint Rock in Concho County, then on the western frontier. There Dr. Fowler experienced a pioneer physician's life, making the long drives to far distant cattle camps and ranches, and leaving there in 1892 he came to Ballinger, where he has ever since been actively engaged in the practice of medicine, now doing an exclusively family practice. He is a member of the County, State and American Medical Associations, and he stands in the front rank of his profession. As a citizen of Ballinger he has been identified with all the movements that make for a better town and community, and he is a former trustee of the Ballinger Independent school district.
Dr. Fowler takes pride in and derives much pleasure and profit from his valuable farm of over twelve hundred acres six miles south of Ballinger, on the Paint Rock Road. It is one of the best farms in all Runnels County and produces splendid crops of cotton and the various other products grown in this section. His wife was before marriage Ida Hartin, born at Magnolia, Arkansas, and who died in Ballinger in 1897, the mother of four children, Leslie C, Tom, Mabel and Clyde.
