I have a picture of my great grandmother, a Fowler who originally lived in MO, I am told. On the back of the picture is written Edward Fowler. This family moved to Venice, IL after some sort of a tragedy that my grandfather wouldn't talk about. He was Frank Earl Fowler but went by Jack, he had a brother Ronald and sisters named Helen and Ina. He was born about 1893 and his brother and sisters were all born by about 1913 at the latest. I don't have much more other than the fact that Frank was married more than once and the other wives and ex-wives didn't seem to know about each other. Frank left my grandmother for the last time about 1938 in Centralia, IL where her parents lived. Any body have anyone with a Edward, Frank, Jack, Leigh, Helen, and Ina connection from this time frame?
