****************************

Death is unexpected. The grim monster appears at an unexpected moment. Mr. Reuben Fowler, a well to do farmer, of near Glennmore, died very suddenly, Saturday, at Dull. Mr. Fowler started from home Saturday morning in good health, with a wagon load of corn, which he took to the Dull warehouse, and unloaded. After unloading the corn he drove into the scale platform and had his wagon weighed. He then started for the store intending to draw his money for the corn, but he had not driven very far when he was seen by Jacob Wittung to fall back in his wagon box. The team started to run, but was caught by Mr. Wittung, who found Mr. Fowler dead in his wagon. The remains were laid to rest in the Greenbrier cemetery, Monday. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Reber, pastor of the radical U.B. church. The deceased was 66 years, 11 months and 11days old, and leaves a wife and six children to mourn their loss. (5/24/85)

Reuben W Fowler was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, June 7, 1829, and died at Dull Town, Van Wert county, Ohio, May 18, 1895, aged 65 years, 11 months and 11 days. Deceased was the oldest son of a family of eight children, five of whom preceded him to the world beyond. Deceased was united in marriage with Evaline Byerly, in the year 1854. In the fall of 1854 he, with his wife, moved to Van Wert county Ohio, which they made their home with the exception of nine years that they lived in Indiana. In the thirty-two years of his life in Van Wert county, he gained the confidence and friendship of all whom he became acquainted with, which was only demonstrated by the large procession that followed him to his last resting place. The wife has lost a good and faithful husband, the children a kind and affectionate father; the community a useful and most respected citizen. may He who is the source of all comfort, bind up the broken hearted, comfort the sorrowing, guide them by His council and afterward bring them to Himself in glory. Funeral service were conducted by the writer and assisted by Rev. J. Freeman, of Zanesville, Ind. (5/24/1895)

Jeff and Jenny's email

Here is J. & J's email: Jeffow@cox.net

I'm glad you sent the new date for the next summer's reunion. I had already booked for a week starting July 8th at Zepher Point. I'll have to see if we can have it changed. Shouldn't be a problem this early.

I have shared my reunion pictures with the family; and I really think they will all make an effort to get to Tahoe next year. It helps that it is one of our families' favorite vacation destinations.

Love you all, Phyllis A.

Sorry....it's me again...I forgot to ask for Jeff and Jenny Fowler's email....I know I had it once upon a time in Indiana...Anybody have it?? Please email to Bgdog756@aol.com or Sus1babe@aol.com Thanks...Susan

New Fowler Reunion Info Posted-Sept 1st

FOWLER REUNION INFORMATION

Ok….here’s the latest information for everybody wondering what’s up for next year. The date has finally been decided for the week of July 19th thru July 26th. That is Saturday thru Saturday. The reunion will be held in California. In Pollock Pines at Marty and Susan Keylon’s house (Goeglein).
We can sleep about 20 people. We also have the ability to rent some RV’s if we go over 20 people. If you have your own RV..there is room to park it. I need to get an accurate count of people interested. Can you please send any emails to Susan Keylon at Sus1babe@aol.com (I know….Marty picked the name)….There has been some interest in people staying in Lake Tahoe area. Just to let you know Tahoe is one hour or about 59 miles from us. There are 2 local motels in Pollock Pines,(10 minutes away) campgrounds (10-15 minutes away) and further down the hill (towards Sacramento) there are Bed and Breakfast’s and other lodging in Placerville (20 minutes or 15 miles from us). My hope is that we can get as many of us as possible to stay in Pollock so we can all be together for breakfast’s and dinners (like we did in Ohio, and in Indiana-Buffalo Inn and at Deb’s house). Please let me know of your plans ASAP so I can plan accordingly. I’m looking forward to hearing from all of you. If you have any of the below listed emails (ones I don’t have) please send them to me, so I can email all of the Fowler clan. You can also call us at 530-644-6561.

Email address’s I don’t have:

Larry Gates
Susan Gates
Elizabeth (Fowler) Taylor
Aunt Kay’s children

If I’ve forgot anybody..let me know.

I will also be posting this on the Fowler blog. Look it up for this year’s reunion pictures. Email Deb Parrott if you haven’t got an invitation to visit the blog. beebopper@verizon.net
