FOWLER CONNELLY, a prominent merchant of Walton, Ky., was born in Kenton
County, Ky., September 17, 1830, and was the fourth of a family of seven
children born to Arch and Rosa (McColum) Connelly, natives of Kenton
County, Ky.  Arch Connelly, a farmer by occupation, died in April, 1875,
and his wife in May, 1861.  Fowler Connelly was reared on a farm, and
received a common-school education in Kenton County.  He began his life
as a very poor boy, and by his industry and economy now owns a large
store and a house and lot in Walton.  Early in life he learned the
carpenter's trade, which he followed until 1883, and at that time engaged
in his present business.  He married Miss Mary Mefford, a daughter of
William and Sarah (Keller) Mefford, and to this union four children have
been born, of whom three are living: Edward Madison, James and Esther A.
Mr. Connelly is a consistent member of the Christian Church.  Politically
he is a Democrat.
