Fowler, which occurred this morning at the Katy Hospital in Sedalia. Fowler, who was a brother-in-law to George L. H. Shields was a Katy brakeman and sustained a factured skull by falling from a train at Bells, Texas about a month ago. He was removed to the home where he was doing so nicely that his father, J.B. Fowler, who had been in Sedalia returned to this city believing him out of danger. Yesterday he took a turn for the worst and before any of the family could go down here he had died. Mrs. Fowler is prostrated with grief at her loss. Mr. Fowler's father has gone to Sedalia and will return with the body. He will reach here tomorrow when the funeral will be held.   OAKWOOD CEMETERY
