Jefferson Co.

JOHN FOWLER was born in Louisville, October 9, 1842, and is a son of
Thomas and Elizabeth Fowler, both of whom were natives of England; they
emigrated from that country directly to Louisville, Ky., and arrived in
Kentucky about the time the subject was born.  John Fowler was brought up
and educated in the city schools of the city of Louisville and has lived
there all the time, excepting during the war, when he was in the Federal
army, a member of Company M, Sixth Kentucky Volunteer cavalry, in which
company he enlisted as a private soldier; he was promoted to fourth
sergeant and finally to second lieutenant; he also veteranized with his
company, and was with it continuously during its service until about two
months before the close of the war, he being absent in the hospital at
that time.  He had command of his company at the battle of Chickamauga,
mustered thirty-two men in the morning of going into battle and at night
had only fourteen to answer roll-call.
