General Notes: Husband - Nelson M. Fowler


He was reared in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and acquired his elementary education in the public schools, after which he was a student in Beaver College, and in an academy at Emlenton. He entered upon his business career in the capacity of a civil engineer, afterward was employed by the Pittsburg & Western Railroad Company, and later with the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg. Having acquired some capital, as the result of his industry and frugality, he embarked in business on his own account, establishing a drug store at Manorville, Armstrong County, in 1884. In the following year he came to Foxburg, and conducted at that place one of the finest drug stores in that part of the state. He carried a large and complete line of goods, and had one of the best-equipped stores in Pennsylvania. The interior finishings and shelvings were of mahogany, the latter being manufactured by the well-known firm of C. H. Bangs & Co., of Boston.
He and his wife were members of the Episcopal Church. In his political views he was a stalwart Republican, who kept well informed on the issues of the day, and gave intelligent, and active support to the party principles. He was a member of Canby Lodge No. 520, F. & A. M.; Eden Chapter No. 259, R. A. M., of Clarion, and Franklin Commandery No. 44, K. T. He also belonged to the Knights of the Maccabees.
