Note	Dr Fowlkes and wife Amanda spent the first ten years of their married life in Surry Co, NC near Dobson. They lived the rest of their lives in the home they built in Alleghany County, North Carolina, USA. When Amanda died in 1905 DrFowlkes, then 83, refused to move in with any of his children so his oldest daughter Patience Cole and her family moved in with him to take care of him. When he died during an extreme cold spell in Feb 1913 the ground was frozen so hard it took two days to dig his grave. He was buried in a small family cemetery on his farm where Amanda and some of hischildren already slept. - From Some Branches of the Fowlkes Family - by David A Sturgill pg 28 Charles G. Fowlkes did not attend any medical school, rather he apprenticed under Dr Tyre in Dobson, Surry Co.,NC. Dr Tyre trained several other apprentices. Dr Fowlkes wrote the original petition to form Alleghany County and wasits first clerk of court until one could be elected. His brother AJ was elected first and they were alternately elected to the post. In 1910 Dr Fowlkes signed a petition to require new doctors to pass an exam and pay a license fee. This soon became the law, but while existingDrs were exempt from the test, they still had to pay the $2.00 licensefee. Dr Fowlkes refused and was eventually arrested for practicing without a license. He reminded the Judge that he had delivered him into the world. The exasperated judge had no choice but to find him guilty, but fined him $1 and paid the fine himself.
