According to my notes, he was the 3rd child of Alex and Mary Fowlie and was born January 27, 1878. His obituary says he was buried at Rosehill Cemetery, but I forgot to look for his tombstone during the last trip. Guess I'll have to add that to the list for next time. My database has Alexander as his middle name, but another source suggests Arthur. I think it's probably Alexander for his father, but I'll keep my eyes open for further evidence.
