He has been with that company for more than thirty years, and all that time his home and duties have been at Manawa. Mr, Fowzer has shown the greatest of ability and fidelity to his company, and at the same time has made the railroad office an important medium for the transaction of business to the community. He is one of the genial and popular citizens of Manawa. He was born in Butler, Pennsylvania, November 1, 1859, a son of William and Sarah (Boyd) Fowzer. His father was a native of Scotland, while his mother was born at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The home of William Fowzer the greater part of his life was at Pittsburg, and he followed the business of contracting. He and his wife were good Presbyterians. Their children were named William, Robert, Charles, James, Anna, Sarah and Ellen. Mr. J. D. Fowzer acquired part of his early education in the schools of Butler, Pennsylvania, and he also attended school in Pittsburg. As a young man he served an apprenticeship and was employed in the car shops at Pittsburg, but in 1883 went into the railroad service, at first in the State of Nebraska. In 1884 he came to Manawa, and since that year has been connected with the Green Bay & Western Railroad. On July 2, 1886, he married Miss Ella Closnit. They have one son, L. L.
