| EDGAR J. FOWLER, oldest son of Stephen L. Fowler, was reared to farm life upon his father's farm, receiving a liberal education in the public schools and at the University Mound College in San Francisco, after which he returned to the old homestead and has since devoted himself in agricultural pursuits. This fine farm is well worthy of mention. It contains 340 acres of rich land, situated one-half mile east of Valley Ford, and under his able management still ranks as one of the representative farms in the valley. There is a fine family orchard upon the place, containing a variety of apples, pears, plums, cherries, etc., which attests the adaptability of these lands for fruit culture. The rest of the land is devoted to hay, grain and stock. Among the latter are seventy-five head of graded cattle, improved by Durham and Jersey breeds. Sixty head of these cattle constitute a dairy, producing a superior grade of butter. Mr. Fowler is also interested in improving his stock of horses. He has some find roadsters improved by McClellan stock, also good specimens of draft horses from the Norman breed. Among the improvements upon this place is a neat cottage residence, beautifully located upon high ground, giving a pleasing view of the valley. There are also substantial and commodious barns, dairy and other out-buildings. May 23, 1877, Edgar J. Fowler was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Cordelia Rien, the daughter of John W. and Ann R. (Brown) Rien, born in Missouri. They have three children, viz.: Ada R., born June 15, 1878; William C., born June 5, 1880, and Ethel E., born August 10, 1882... | ||
