On Sunday, 15 November 2009, Gladys Winifred Fowler will be interred in her family's plot in the Loyalist Cemetery of Hammondvale, New Brunswick -- over 92 years after her death in a London hotel room.
Winifred Fowler died at Berners Hotel in central London on 17 April 1917, with the world at war. Her triple-shelled, lead-sealed coffin was deposited in the catacomb beneath the Anglican Chapel of Kensal Green Cemetery four days later, in a packing case, presumably ready for repatriation to her native Canada. For reasons unknown, her body was never moved, although her name appears above the family grave in rural New Brunswick.

FOWLER, Samuel, physician, b. near Newburg, N. Y., 30 Oct., 1779; d. in Franklin, N. J., 21 Feb., 1844. He studied medicine in Philadelphia, and, after being licensed in 1800, began practise in Hamburg, N. J. A few years later removed to Franklin, where he subsequently resided, enjoying a high reputation on account his scientific knowledge. He interested himself politics, and represented his county in the upper branch of the New Jersey legislature, and also his state in congress, to which he was twice elected as a Jackson Democrat, serving from 2 Dec., 1833, till 4 March, 1837. As a mineralogist he held deservedly a high rank. The zinc-mines in Franklin were once owned by him, and his descriptions of the minerals found in their vicinity, particularly the franklinite, said to have been named by him, led to the development of its metallurgy. The rare mineral, fowlerite, was discovered by him. He contributed frequent descriptions of New Jersey minerals to scientific and other journals.
