A Long Lost Man Found.
Richard Jackson Fowler, alias Jackson, who has appeared in the police courts frequently, proves to be an ex-soldier of Wisconsin infantry, enlisted at Richland Center Wisconsin. He proves to be of good parentage. He has become destitute and away from relatives and friends and as a consequence has been tacked on the vagrant list. The G.A.R. have cleaned him up and made application for his admission to the soldiers' home at Hot Springs, South Dakota. He was wounded in the foot at the Pea Ridge fight and taken prisoner. Should any friends of this unfortunate soldier see this they would confer a favor by communicating with his relatives at Richland Center, Wisconsin. - Sioux Falls, (S. D.) Press, Nov. 4.
Richard Jackson Fowler above referred to is a brother of the late John W. Fowler and a son of John Fowler of this city. He suddenly disappeared shortly after the war leaving a wife and small family, and had never been heard from till the above clipping came to the attention of his friends. His wife died a number of years ago. His son is still living in this county.

The site for the South Dakota Human Services Center (originally known as the Dakota Hospital for the Insane and later named the Yankton State Hospital) was selected by Governor Howard on September 24, 1878. The facility, the first public institution in the Dakota Territory, was opened on April 11, 1879. Nine men and eight women, Dakota Territory residents previously cared for in institutions in Minnesota and Nebraska, were admitted by transfer.
**Richard Jackson Fowler was a patient of the hospital, being transferred from the South Dakota Soldier's Home in Hot Springs, Fall River Co., SD, in 1891.**
His burial card lists his place of death and burial as the Yankton State Hospital Cemetery, but his burial place cannot be found. A wonderful security officer tried locating his grave, but unless he is buried in an unmarked grave, his remains have not been found. He thought there was a possibility that the body was shipped back to family, but as family in the Richland County area had passed on or moved, that is probably unlikely.
