Graham, Bernice: "Descendants of Samuel Smith,"  THE TALLOW LIGHT,
Washington Co., OH. 1968, v. 3, p 99-121:

The David Fowler family lived at New Lexington, OH and had four
children:
James Celvin; Acta Caroline;  Alice Cary;  and Louie May Fowler.

DISCREPANCY IN B. Graham's:  The twins, Acta and Alice  have the same
death date of 31 May 1891 according to B. Graham.  Undoubtedly an error.
Alice Cary--had a 4th  child born 18 May 1891. How does this figure in?
