Death of Mrs. M. A. FOWLER
Mrs. M. A. FOWLER was born August the 29th, 1838, and died on the morning of May 3, 1904, being nearly sixty six years old at the time of her death. She was married to Mr. J. A. FOWLER, on December 20, 1858, and there were nine children, five boys and four girls to bless this union. The deceased professed religion at 14 years of age, and united with the Protestant Methodist church at Pleasant Hill, and had lived a beautiful and consistent christian life for nearly fifty two years. Her record was a benediction to the community in which she lived and hundreds of friends and relatives will sincerely mourn her death. Though dead, she yet lives, and for many years the influence of her precious example will be an inspiration to her children and those who are to follow her. The writer recalls an incident in her history that with an indescribable pathos touched the heart of all and proved her to be a heroine. On a summer day, five years ago, the deepest sorrow that could befall a mother came to her. Two grown sons, manly young men, met a violent death and side by side; they were dead in their widowed mothers home. Before being removed from the old home to the silent city of the dead, she stood between the still cold forms of her dear boys and prayed Gods mercy upon their slayers. No human soul was ever prompted to perform a higher and sweeter act of forgiveness and self forgetfulness in the hour of overwhelming sorrow than this one. Humanity may forget it, but God will remember and reward this good woman. She was buried at Pleasant Hill, beside her loved ones. Farewell Aunt Martha, until the Jugement Day, and God bless your children and loved ones who are so far away, as well as those who wept at the couch of the dying mother and received the parting blessings.
