Fowler genealogy report says that she was one of the first telephone operators in the state. After her husband's death, she married his cousin, Arthur Fowler. I have put this Arthur Fowler here as her second husband, as he was "first cousin one generation removed" to George. I have not verified that he is the right Arthur, but the chance is good. Especially since the Fowler report says to "see Dennis #10-3-7" and Arthur's father was Dennis. No children were given in the report. I may have found a record elsewhere (unconfirmed) that Arthur and "Lou" married 5th May 1920, ten years after her first husband's death.

M i Henry Scott CHITTENDEN [scrapbook] was born on 27 Dec 1846 in Guilford, CT. He died on 24 Mar 1879 in TX.
I have several letters written by a Mr. Samuel Nott of Texas, whose ranch Henry was living on at the time of this death of TB, to Henry's mother. Also several letters from Henry. He went out there to try to regain his health, and died without family near him. I gave the letters to the Texas State Museum, but have copies. He apparently died unmarried.

Theron and his brother Will were very close. Theron lost his right arm in a hunting accident in the 1920's. He died of heart trouble. I have an old photo of Theron & Will as children under school age. I have a book, "Jack Daw At Home, British Nobility Burlesqued", dated 1815, with note enclosed from Theron C. Fowler that it belonged to his grandfather. We have several calling cards from his friends. First photo shows him as a happy looking young man with wife, Ella.

This letter to him from a cousin is interesting. I would like to identify the persons mentioned, but can not.
Dear Cousin Henry
"It has been a long, long time since I received your last letter and I did not think then that it would be so long before I answered it, but time passes, O, how fast year after year passes with its trials and troubles, joys and sorrows but, enough of this You asked in Sam's letter if I had forgotten you Dear Cousin do you think that I could No I hear you say, and No I say I would be O, so happy to sit down and Sing and talk and whistle with you as in times past - if you will step in this evening I will promise you a good kiss and a hug and a real good shaking and a first best sing. Hiram sits at my right with his arms around my Husband's Sister Cora and their faces are just as near as possible I do not think that you could get a knife blade between them he has a book in his hands, trying to make us believe that he is reading and she is asleep or looks as if she might be I think we shall have to board Hiram on account of saving his shoe leather I think it must wear out some leather to come every day and then in the evening to do you think I have written enough about him I do My Husband Sits at my left - writing a letter to some of his friends. I shall not tell you any thing about him
Only that he is good it is not Mr. West (as you no doubt have heard) you may think it strange at my not marrying Mr. West but if you were here I would tell you all about it but I do not think it best to write it we are living in Franks house and it makes a very pleasant home and it is so near Mother's, I have been teaching this last winter over the river I had the small School as it is called My Husband taught the large school I had over thirty scholars boarded at home you know whare the school house is on the other side of the river so you see I had some more than a mile to walk night and morning and it was pretty hard work I taught a five month's term and I tell you I was most duck [?] when school was out - hary lives on the little wolf [probably a river] running a saw mill I expect I was over to See Flora (maybe Henry's mother Flora) a few days She was pretty well Mother's health is not very good this Spring Ella lives with Mary and I think that Mother has to work to hard Sam has been to work on Stimsons Boat this Spring but had to stop [?] two weeks because he was not able to work and John took his place I have not heard from Frank in a great while he owes me a letter but I do not know when he will find time to write to me Hiram and Cora are singing and I can not write because I can not think when there is so much noise so I will bid you good night till Some time when I can have less noise write soon and a good long letter from Cousin Jennie Direct to Mrs. C.

They had the following children:
M i Edward COLE M ii Albert COLE was born about 1868.
DOB is just a guess. Eunice Fowler says nothing much was known of him and he may have died young. She doesn't believe he had any children. He is not mentioned in his father's obit, so probably preceded him in death.M iii Elmer COLE [scrapbook] was born about 1872.
Was crippled from birth and walked on crutches. Had married and had two daughters, Bertha and Edith. Eunice says that he never amounted to much as couldn't get work and depended a lot on family in these days before federal disability payments. Family had very little of their own to spare. He is actually older than his sister Elma and his brother Arthur in this photo, but looks much younger.M iv Arthur COLE F v Ella Louise COLE
John Terrill WAYLAND [scrapbook] was born on 2 Mar 1907 in Moberly, , Missouri. He died on 8 Nov 1997 in Charleston, , South Carolina and was buried on 12 Nov 1997 in Fairlawn Cem., Wilkes Co., North Carolina. John married Living on 8 Aug 1932 in New Haven, , Conn..
NOTE: B, p.67
The following was written for the 1986 Brushy Mountain Baptist Association Annual, which was dedicated to John and his wife, Eunice: "JTW graduated from Moberly High Shool a member of the honor society, and was one of four salutatorians. Upon completion of four years at William Jewell College in 1928, John Wayland enrolled at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kty., from which he received the Th.B. degree two years later. Continuing his education, John went to Yale, where, after a year, he received his B.D. degree, and in 1933 the Doctor of Philosophy degree. In 1932 John T. Wayland and Eunice Fowler were married in New Haven, Connecticut. They felt the call to become foreign missionaries and had hoped to be sent to Burma where he would have taught at Judson College. The depression and lack of funds, however, made this impossible. In June, 1933, Dr. Wayland was called to become pastor of the First Baptist Church in Monroe, N.C. The Temple Baptist Church in Durham, N.C. was the next call to Dr. Wayland. He went there in 1937 and remained until he went in the military service as a Navy Chaplain in 1944. After the war, Dr. Wayland became pastor at Pimlico Baptist in Baltimore, Maryland. A year later he was asked by a committee from the First Baptist Church of North Wilkesboro, N.C. to come there. Dr. Wayland and his family arrived in North Wilkesboro in August 1947. Under the leadership of Dr. Wayland at the North Wilkesboro Church, the new parsonage was built and a much-needed educational building was constructed. A school for rural Baptist preachers was established under his leadership and he taught there. Dr. Wayland resigned from the North Wilkesboro First Baptist to become professor of Christian Education at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary at Wake Forest, N.C. in 1953. For over 18 years he taught at the seminary. On his retirement from the seminary, Dr. Wayland returned to Wilkes County in 1972 and has since served as Associate Pastor of the First Baptist Church of North Wilkesboro, where he was formerly pastor, in semi-retirement. From 1972 to 1982 he was Adjunct Professor of Religion at Wilkes Community College. Many of the best things that have happened to Wilkes County have come into being with the aid of his gentle spirit and the urging of his strong leadership. Dr. Wayland served as first president of the Board of Trustees of the North Carolina Baptist Homes for the Aging. He is a past president of the Board of Trustees of the Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina. In 1961-1962 he served as visiting lecturer at Oxford University in England, on sabattical from the seminary." John and Eunice at the time this is written in 1989 remained quite active and the summer of 1988 took a two week tour of Alaska alone and spent one week on the train and one on a boat. He has been a delegate to nearly every national Southern Baptist Convention, including 1988, often accompanied by wife, Eunice. While in the Navy in WWII as a chaplain, he was at Fort McHenry, (where the Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key), and also served on the Cruiser, USS Houston, making a trip to Cuba.
