Class of 1872

Mrs. Susan Farnham Fowler, widow of William P. Fowler, died quite suddenly, February 16, of pneumonia, in Taormina, Sicily, where she was spending the winter. Her residence for the past few years has been with her sister, Miss Harriet Stevens Smith, at their old family home, North Andover, Mass., in the house built by their grandfather, Nathaniel Stevens. The deceased was born in Boston, September 4, 1866, and her ancestry traces back to the first settlement of Massachusetts Bay colony. Her father was John H. D. Smith. She was a member of the Colonial Dames and the Boston Shakespeare Club, of which club her husband was president for many years. Mrs. Fowler was a lover of the outdoors and an artist by avocation, and up to a few days of her death had been pleasantly engaged in sketching the Sicilian landscape in the very shadow of Mt. Etna.

Three children survive her, William P. Fowler, Dartmouth, 1921, Ф. B. K, now practicing law at 60 State St., Boston, associated with the firm of Putnam, Bell, Dutch and Santry. A daughter, Katharine S. Fowler, Bryn Mawr 1925, is a graduate student in geology at Columbia University, and a second son, Philip Fowler, is a student at Harvard School of Business Administration.

The children's education had been tentatively planned before the father's death, and in this their great sorrow they have the profound sympathy of the class of '72.
