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.
