Death Claims Mrs. Paul L. Fowler
Mrs. Florence Thompson Fowler, whom the Journal-Times said last week, was recovering, on Friday had changed for the worse, and at about 5:30 in the evening, passed to the Great Beyond.
She had been seriously ill for two weeks, following childbirth, and at several times during this interval her life was despaired of, but her wonderful fighting spirit helped her through, and it was thought by many friends that she would conquer, but it seems that her long illness had sapped her vitality, and she was compelled to surrender.
Florence Thompson Fowler was born in Ritzville, October 20, 1891, and with the exception of one year, spent her life in this city. She was educated in the Ritzville schools, graduating with class honors in 1908. Was married to Paul L. Fowler, September 10, 1912.
She is survived by her husband and two children, her mother, Mrs. Henry Woehr, sister, Mrs. Frank Perkins, and three brothers, Earl of Sprague, Rae of Cranbook, B. C., and Floyd of Ritzville.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Methodist church, the sermon being preached by Rev. Williams, pastor, and was attended by a vast concourse of friends, saddened by the recollections of their happy, light hearted friend, of whom they were now taking a last farewell, and many a tear sprung unbidden to eyes in that throng which none sought to conceal, as they were tears of regret for the departed, and of sympathy for the saddened hearts left behind, and showed a depth of feeling, which comes only from a pure and loving heart. Beloved by all, with not an enemy, the memory of Mrs. Fowler will live among her friends as long as life shall last
