I've recently read an article about a Joseph Fowler who built the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana - why named St. Charles??? ?? I think perhaps a close family connection ..
Also, my husband's Grandfather's brother was named Arthur St. C__---- (?) Charles ?, Fowler. The 1880 census only list him as Arthur St. C. Fowler; he was born about 1874 or 1875 in Illinois. This Fowler family was on the 1880 census in Whiteside, Co., Illinois - town of Sterling I believe.
Arthur's father, Joseph H. Fowler was supposedly born in Pennsylvania, not sure of the year or place in Pa. either.
If anyone knows of a connection of St. Charles & Fowler families please let me know. Reply here or e-mail me at
