Anderson Fowler ’35

Andy Fowler died July 10, 1997, from injuries suffered from a fall in January. He was 85. He came to Princeton from St. Paul's and roomed with Ollie Langenberg and Toly Pyle. At college, Andy belonged to Ivy Club, majored in French, played polo, rode in amateur jump races, and played an excellent hand of bridge.

He married Genevieve Brady in 1937 and they had a daughter, Elizabeth, born in 1938. Genevieve died in 1965, and Andy later married Elaine Darlington. The Fowlers were lifelong residents of Gladstone, N.J. During WWII, Andy instructed horsemanship at Ft. Riley, and served as a captain with the First Cavalry in the Pacific, where he earned a Bronze Star in the landings at Leyte Gulf.

Andy's main career interests were in dairy farming, as a breeder and owner of race horses, and in politics. He served terms as a New Jersey assemblyman and as a Somerset County freeholder. His interest in the outdoors was exemplified by his service as master of the Essex Fox Hounds and by his memberships in the Jockey Club, Westminster Kennel Club, Coaching Club, Anglers Club, and NY Farmers Club.

Survivors include his wife, Elaine, daughter and son-in-law, Binnie and Eddie Houghton, two stepsons, two granddaughters, and four great-granddaughters, to all of whom we send most sincere condolences.
