TAYLOR FOWLER – FOWLER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letter To: Georgia Taylor Fowler   From: William Coleman Fowler  Jackson, Tenn Dec. 21, 1922<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dear daughter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are well as usual, as we both are never well but able to be up.  Well daughter, it was just 27 years ago tomorrow that your dear mother past away so you know it makes me sad to pass over this time of year.  Baby, I feel bad not to be able to give you all a Xmas present but daughter I just haven’t got the where with to get anything but daughter I love you just the same as if I had so I could buy.  But money is sure scarce with us.  I do not know when I can go to see you.  The weather is so uncertain to get so far  away from the mail road.  Hope you all will have a nice Xmas.  Let me hear from you soon. I am ever your loving Papa,  W.C. Fowler<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: I ran across this letter to my grandmother from her father.  It was so sad, but sweet.  Georgia’s mother died in 1895 when Georgie was only 2.  My uncle told me that she was sick on the bed.  They were killing hogs.  She got up and worked the sausage and took pneumonia and died.   Tombstone reads:  27 years 2 months 24 days.
