C., to take time out to hear tribute paid to a single family, but that is exactly what hap pened last Friday morning when Congressman P. W. Griffiths of the fifteenth congressional district lavished high praise on the seven sons of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fowler, of Spruce street, Caldwell, each of whom has served or is serving in the United States army. Congressman Griffiths told the House of Repre sentative members that families such as the Fowlers of Caldwell, Ohio, made for a bigger and greater America. On March 25, Dale Fowler became the seventh son to be inducted into the army. He was sent to Atterbury, Ind., and is now serving out his basic training at Aberdeen, Maryland. All have been released from the service David Fowler, who* is still with the army of occupation in Germany. With the exception of Dale Fowler, all saw action overseas, with some of the toughest outfits in the army and all returned home, uninjured. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler are the parents of nine sons, two of whom, Jack and Mack, are still in the grades. The entire of Noble county joins with Congressman Griffiths, the House of Representatives and The Jour nal in extending praise to this couple, who more any other, served their country by giving their one by one, to preserve the cause of peace. Pictured above are the seven sons of Mr. and Fowler, who served in the United States army.
