FOWLER Manson Lady, Formerly a Resident of Webster County, Dies Manson Journal: Saturday, the many friends of Mrs. Edward Fowler were shocked by a telegram from Rochester, Minn., announcing her death, which had taken place a few hours after an operation which had been performed for the removal of a tumor of the stomach. Mrs. Fowler had not been well for some time, but she made light of her trouble and her wonderful strength and vitality enabled her to keep up under a burden that would have sent many to a hospital months ago, and her friends and relatives never realized how seriously ill she was, but some weeks ago she consented to a thorough examination by one of the best physicians in the country, who informed her that she was suffering from an internal tumor but that he did not think it would be a very serious operation to remove it. Accompanied by her husband, she went to Rochester, where the surgeons confirmed the former examination, but they too were deceived as to the seriousness of the case, and she returned home to await a time when the operation could be successfully performed, and last Thursday she returned to Rochester, full of hope for the successful outcome of the operation, which her family and friends believed would restore her to health - vain hope. The disease had done its work too well for the hand of man to stay its progress. The vital organs were so badly affected that the most skillful surgeons could not save the life so dear to a family of loved ones, and she passed away a few hours after leaving the hands of the surgeons. The remains were brought home Saturday and Sunder were viewed by many neighbors and old friends who called to pay their respects to the dead and offer consolation to the sorrowing family. Monday morning, the remains were brought to St. Thomas church at Manson, where Father McAulliffe held mass for the departed soul. The body was laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery south of town. Bridget Ann Burke was born in Jackson township, Webster County, Feb. 3, 1859 and was married to Edward Fowler, April 11, 1880. To this union ten children were born, five boys and five girls, all but one of whom are now living, and all at home except the oldest, Jennie, who was married to W. J. Crilly some years ago, and now lives on a farm some eight miles northeast of the old home. In her death the community loses a splendid christian woman, the husband a dutiful wife, and the children, a kind and loving mother. Born at the very gateway of western pioneer life, she passed through all those trials and hardships incident to those trying times but neither the hardships of those early days or the trials of after life were allowed to mar her happy disposition or cast a shadow across her pathway, and when the reaper called her home she answered the summons without a murmur and left as mourners the entire community. Peace to her ashes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
