Horatio Fowler was a Canadian. He served on the American side in the War of 1812 and was wounded at the Battle of Lundy's Lane, He was also involved in the Canadian Rebellion of 1837. As a consequence, he spent two years in prison. Soon after his liberation he came to Newark in search of a new home. This region suited him and besides his wife's kinsman, Lyman Smith, was already here. So he sent for his family consisting of a wife, two sons and two daughters. They established their home not far from the creek on the east side of Millington Road. One of the sons is now the distinguished Bishop Fowler. The other son, deceased, was for some years a Newark druggist and later a physician. It was on land belonging to the Fowlers and within a stone's throw of their residence that the Institute building was erected in 1855. The school was appropriately named Fowler Institute. From 1855 down to about 1873 it was one of the best schools in Illinois, anywhere between Mount Morris and Jackson.
