• Notes

  Joseph Arthur Fowler, Memphis, Tennessee, was born in that city October 6 1883. He was educated in the Memphis public schools until he reached the age of fourteen years when necessity forced him into employment when, by chance, he became engaged in the electrical business. He spent the next twelve years with two concerns and devoted every opportunity to the study of his line of work. In 1910 he entered into business for himself, establishing the Fowler Electric Company, now one of the leading houses of its kind in the South. For many years he has held executive positions with national organizations with which his business is connected. Mr. Fowler has presided over practically all of the Masonic organizations in Memphis, serving in 1918 as potentate of the Shrine and in 1919 as grand high priest of the grand chapter of Tennessee. He is a member of the First Methodist Church, Rotary Club, Colonial Country Club and has served as a director of the Chamber of Commerce. He has had an active part in nearly all the local war and charity drives. He and Miss Edith Carrington were married January 18, 1911. They have one child, Betsye Fowler.
