36th Congress, 2nd Session, House of Representatives, Report #21.
ABRAHAM C. FOWLER-WIDOW OF. [To accompany Bill H. B. No. 922.]
JANUARY 12, 1861.
Mr. Foster, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, made the following report.
The Committee on Invalid Pensions, to whom were referred the petition and papers of Mrs. Frances Fowler, widow of Abraham C. Fowler, a second lieutenant of artillery, late of the United States army, report :
That Abraham C. Fowler, the husband of the petitioner, was a second lieutenant of artillery in the army, and the testimonials of Gen. Churchill and others, his superior officers, speak highly of his services and gallantry in the war of 1812, during several battles, and especially his defence of one of the block-houses on the Saranac, in July, 1814, when attacked by the troops of Sir George Provost.
It appears by a letter from the adjutant general that Lieutenant Fowler was ordered to Fort Jackson, near the city of New Orleans; that the post at that time was exceedingly unhealthy, and that be contracted a fever while there which so incapacitafed him for service that his commanding officer, Captain Gardner, permitted him, on the 15th of April, 1834, to report himself to he quarters for the purpose of obtaining leave of absence for the benefit of his health ; that on the 30th of April, 1834, while on his passage from Fort Jackson to New Orleans, on his way to Washington, he died of the disease, yellow fever, contracted at the fort, and while in the line of his duty.
It is abundantly shown by the testimony that the post was unusually sickly , and that the habits of Lieutenant Fowler were very unexceptionable and careful.
Your committee think the petitioner is fully entitled to the pension due the widow of a soldier dying of a disease contracted while in the service of the United States, and in the line of his duty. They therefore ask leave to report the accompanying bill.
