Beloved Woman Succumbs
To Death Sunday Morning.
Many in this community and throughout the state are profoundly grieved by the death of one of Butler's most beloved women, Mrs. Isabella Layfield Fowler, widow of Mr. Nathan T. Fowler, who preceded her in death in November 1924. The sweet life of Mrs. Fowler faded away at 2:20 o'clock Sunday morning. She was in her 76th year, the date of her birth being March 7, 1855 and had been a patient sufferer for more than a year, but was confined to her bed during her last illness about here weeks followed by pneumonia which hastened the end. Her condition was much worse than her loved ones realized, although every attention possible was given her by loved ones, physicians and friends to check the disease but to no avail.
In the life of Mrs. Fowler one found all that the word beautiful could imply. She was a wonderful character, possessing a noble heritage. In her pathway she strewed sunshine of love and devotion, lightening many a heavy heart. She was always of an optimistic nature, full of wit and humor. In every cloud she found the silver lining. She was ever ready at a moment's warning to lend a helping hand for a noble cause, or to provide for the poor and needy. Few women like Mrs. Fowler are able to adapt themselves to circumstances, for in all her sorrows, she had her share, and in all her sufferings she was patient, sweet, kind and gentle, ever thinking of the welfare of others first. She comes from one of the most prominent pioneer families of Taylor county. Her father, Mr. George Layfield and her mother, Mrs. Winnie Martin Layfield, were leaders in the organization of the county and in the organized efforts towards development. She had been a resident of Butler since her marriage to Mr. Fowler 52 years ago.
Mrs. Fowler was a good, consecrated, Christian woman, and a devout member of the Primitive Baptist church. But her life probably shined brighter in her home, where she was truly devoted to her family, and had the art of making those within her doors feel a cordial welcome. Having been born and reared within the bounds of this territory, she is pleasantly remembered as "Miss Belle Layfield" before her marriage.
Beautiful funeral services were held for Mrs. Fowler at her late residence. Monday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. T. Adams, assisted by Rev. E. H. Dunn. Interment was in Oak Lawn cemetery, this city.
Beautiful expressions of love and esteem for the deceased were represented in the many lovely floral offerings that were in evidence.
She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Jack Bridges of Unadilla; Mrs. J. A. Smith of Talbotton; and Mrs. Florence Gordy of Butler, also by one son, Mr. R. E. Fowler of Macon; seven grandchildren and several nephews and nieces.
