FINFUN A. FOWLER.
Finfun A. Fowler, a successful farmer and stock-raiser, was born on a portion of the farm he now operates in Pitt township, August 25, 1877, a son of Hiram R. and Alice E. (Hornby) Fowler. The father was born in Little Sandusky in 1852 and spent all of his active life engaged in farming. He owned five hundred and eighty acres of land in Pitt township, which he operated successfully until his death in 1905. The mother was born in Marion county, Ohio, in 1857, and survives her husband, making her home in Little Sandusky with her son, Ralph. In this family were two children: Finfun A., and Ralph N., a farmer in Little Sandusky. He married Miss Prances Monte and they have three children, Nova, Hiram and Max.
Mr. Fowler of this review was reared on the home farm and acquired his education in the district schools. He was trained to the various duties of the agriculturist and has been identified with farming throughout his active business career. Upon the death of the father the homestead was divided between Mr. Fowler and his brother Ralph, our subject receiving as his share three hundred and forty-eight acres, of which he is still the owner. In addition to raising grain Mr. Fowler also breeds high-grade stock and has at present seventy-five head of cattle, eight hundred sheep and two hundred Chester White hogs, of which he makes a specialty. This branch of his business is proving very profitable to him and his work along this line is ably supplemented by that of his wife, who is
,*nogle interested in raising full-breed Rhode Island Red chickens of which she has about three hundred at the present time.
On October 22, 1902, Mr. Fowler was united in marriage to Miss Grace A. Wood, a daughter of Reuben and Leafy (Mc- Lain) Wood, the former a prominent farmer. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler have two children, Charles Rush and Leafy Alice. Mr. Fowler attends the Methodist church, in which his wife holds membership, and politically is identified with the republican party. He is interested in community affairs and particularly in the cause of education, which he has served ably for five years as president of the school board. He has many friends in Wyandot county, among whom he is highly esteemed and respected.
