DEATH OF F.H. FOWLER, MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1934 Funeral Conducted From His late Home Wednesday Frank H. Fowler, aged 77, passed away at his home in Linesville Monday morning at seven o'clock, June 4, 1934. He was the son of John and Adaline Fowler and was born at Madison, Ohio, October 21, 1856. He was united in marriage with Kate Wood, of Madison, February 8, 1880, and to this union were born five children, four of whom survive. A son, John Sextus Fowler, passed away at Linesville, March 11, 1911. He is survived by his wife, son, Oliver A., of Cleveland, Ohio; daughters, Grace E. Paden, Perry; Pollie E. Gillette, Erie; Fleta A. Lowing, Linesville; eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Dollie Callow, Spokane, Wash., Mrs. Cora Brand, Cleveland. One grandchild, Glenn Wert Paden, passed away about twenty-five years ago. Mr. Fowler had been in the produce raising business all his life and for over fifty years of that time had specialized in raising and selling onions. He was the first to produce onions in the Pymatuning area on an extensive scale and it was through his efforts that outsiders were interested in this business and that it eventually was built up to great production. The development of this local industry which employed hundreds of men, women and children for many years was the result of his pioneering in the rich soil of Western Crawford county. After over thirty years connections with the industry and after watching the development of the Pymatuning project over a period of twenty years, Mr. Fowler was not given the opportunity to see the lake as his eyesight failed months before his death. Mr. Fowler really retired from active participation in business ten years ago when he sold his buildings and land in the lake area to the State. His interests were centered about his home and the members of his large family, an interest which increased with his declining years. It is not necessary to draw upon the imagination to realize his kindness and his constant good nature. The funeral was held from his late home, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. George A. Gay, of the Universalist Church. Four grandsons, Dr. Carl Fowler, Richard Paden, Alvin Gillette and Roger Lowing acted as pall bearers. Another grandson, Lawrence Lowing was unable to be present, he being a patient in Spencer hospital. Interment was made in the Linesville cemetery. THE DEATH OF MRS. FRED J. SHATTUCK - Mrs. Clara Shattuck, aged 69 years, wife of Hon. Frederick J. Shattuck, of this place, passed away at her home, Wednesday afternoon at five o'clock, June 6, 1934. Mrs. Shattuck, daughter of Henry and Salina Richmond, was born at Whitesville, N.Y., November 3, 1864. In December 1882 she was united in marriage with Mr. Shattuck and to this union were born three daughters, Mrs. Lillian Backus, of Smethport, Pa., Mrs. Grace Bail, San Bernadina, Cal., who with her husband survive and Mrs. Percy Hornby of New Brighton, Pa., who passed away a short time ago. The Shattucks moved from Cherry Creek, N.Y., to Linesville over thirty years ago when Mr. Shattuck and Mr. Phillips bought the business which the former still conducts at this place. Two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Shattuck celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Mrs. Shattuck had been in poor health for several years, yet she had been a patient sufferer and her quiet soothing and pleasing manner will keep fresh in the memory of her many friends thoughts of one of Linesville's fine old ladies. She was a member of the Universalist Church, and an active member of the Cheerful Workers, a member of the Woman's Club and the Eastern Star. Beautiful floral tributes were banked about the casket and as a part of the funeral service, Mrs. Pauline Peterman, of Meadville, sang two numbers, one of them Mrs. Shattuck's favorite hymn. The pall bearers were D.L. Probst, C.L. Hayes, Dr. H.C. Sturdevant, Harry Hendrick, W.C. Farley, and Prof. J.F. Miller. Funeral services were conducted from her late home by her pastor, Rev. George A. Gay, of the Universalist Church, assisted by Rev. W. Harold Sloan, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at two o'clock, Friday afternoon. Interment was made in the Linesville Cemetery.
