Edith was an adventuring soul and the first family member to travel far from her Belleville home. She married Charles J. Fowler (1860-1943) on August 5, 1917, after meeting him where she worked in Arkansas. He was divorced and much older than Edith. They operated a photo studio in Heber Springs, Arkansas for awhile. Seeking a career change, they were both trained as chiropractors and set up a home and office in Delta and Hotchkiss, Colorado, in 1930. They had no children.
They moved to Lordsburg, New Mexico by 1935. After Charles' death in 1943, Edith returned to Belleville, Illinois and moved in with her sister, Florence Browning, brother-in-law John Browning, and niece Edythe McKean at 103 Barco in Belleville, IL. Edythe provided a home for her aunt until Edith's death in 1967 at age 91. She was my sweet, elderly grandaunt that was kind to everybody and a joy to know.
