At the age of 23 years he came to Sangerville and bought the farm on which he resided during his lifetime. He was married in 1831 to Miss Rachel D. Haynes of Sangerville, who died 15 years ago.

Mr. Fowler was a worthy citizen, faithful in the various town offices he was called to fill, being one of the selectmen for six years.

His mental powers remained almost unimpaired to the day of his death. In religious belief, he was a staunch Congregationalist, although in perfect sympathy with all christians.
