  Narrative

The 1900 US Federal Census for Allen Fowler states he is widowed. However, the 1900 US Federal Census for Dora Lane Fowler lists her as divorced. It's possible the two may have divorced, then Allen remarried, and his second wife died. This could explain why Dora and her two daughters were living with Dora's father and two sisters in 1880. This suggests a divorce after Allen and Dora's daughter Fay was born (latter half of the 1870's), and before 1880. If Allen remarried, he and his second wife would likely show up together in the unavailable 1890 US Federal Census.
