THE HOUGLAND FAMILY HISTORY unpublished manuscript copy  in my
possession.  pg 26.
It appears that Louie May Fowler is the 4th child of Cornelia and David
Fowler.  (see Pg 26.)  HOWEVER CORNELIA AND DAVID FOWLER are on page
29.  So the data for Louie May Fowler is out of sinc.
There are two husbands, two  children listed for Louie May and 2
grandchildren  and one spouse of her son Verne?

Discrepanacy in Hougland Family History:
(later I found in B. Graham's work what appears to be correct data  on
Louie Mae Fowler.) 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.(?)

2001 Jan: The connection between the 1860/1870 census listing of  the last child being named "Cellia A./Lucellie Fowler" and the name of "Louie May Fowler" is explained as nicknames---
          her real name being "Lucella May Fowler."
Mrs. Owens reconfirmed "LUCELLA MAY" IN HER LETTER OF oCT 4, 1986.

1881 Sep 22; lICENSE ISSUED TO GEORGE W. MORGAN md LOUIE FOWLER. He of age 21 and she of age 18 yrs.  Bk 6 p 284.

2nd husband was CLINTON ACKLER.
