Biographical Notes

Hide Details Note: From Hardesty's History of Gallia County, Ohio, we learn that Harrison Fowler was born in Kanawha county, West Virginia, June 8, 1812, ‎[Virginia then]‎ and came to Gallia County with his parents in 1815. His parents were Elijah and Jane ‎(Bogan)‎ Fowler. When they settled in Gallia county it was in a very wild state; no roads, mills, or any conveniences. His father taught school, and was the first justice of the peace elected in Guyan township. Harrison Fowler, by hard work and careful management, has obtained a large farm, located in Guyan township, which is in first-class condition.

He was married in this county, October 10, 1840, to Aromenta Mart, who was born in Giles county, Virginia, June 16, 1818; her death took place in December 1863. Her parents were Nathaniel and Lydia Mart, settlers of this county in 1825. The children of Mr. Fowler are:

Mr. Fowler's father was born March 25, 1770. The subject of this sketch has held the office of justice of the peace for many years. Mr. Fowler had two sons who lost their lives in the late war; Anda Lewis served six months, and died of typhoid fever in Tennessee; William served two years and six months, and died from disease brought on by hardships endured in the Lynchburg raid. Mr. Fowler's postoffice address is Crown City, Gallia county, Ohio.

Arominta died a few years later, but Harrison stayed on the farm and kept working. The 1880 census finds him 68 yrs at home with sons James H. 20 and John R. 18. There are two housekeepers to look after them.
Death 2 January 1886 ‎(Age 73)‎ West Virginia, USA

Death of spouse Alternative date Dec 1863 from "History of Gallia County"
At the time of her death, she had suffered through the deaths of a child in 1847, two babies in 1855, a son in 1863 and a grown son Anda in 1864, as a result of the Civil War. I wonder if she died of a broken heart.
