Try contacting the Forsyth County Library in Forsyth County, GA.  There are lots of Fowler's there and Anderson, SC is just across the border from GA.  I've always had good luck writing libraries for obituary copies when I know the exact death date.  No one in any library will scan scads of newspapers for an obituary.  You need the date, which you already have. Have you also tried "legacy.com" to confirm the information you have?  ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, January 16, 2011 1:31:26 PM Subject: Re: [BRICK-WALLS] Fowler This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
