William Fowler, who served as a community physician in Silver City for about six decades, passed away Dec. 21 at the age of 91.
William Fowler wore many hats throughout the course of his life logger, cowboy, bulldozer operator, Army medic but the one he will be most known for is physician.
※He was one of the last of the old-time country doctors that did everything deliver babies, did surgery, you name it,” said Jeb Fowler, Dr. Fowler’s son. ※I know he had a lot of patients over the years where he delivered them when they were born, and signed their death certificate when they died.”
