Though we might question this very different location and occupation for this Robert M Fowler, it fits other details, like his later marriage to Betsy Booth and their later residence back in Texas, living and dying in Georgetown, Texas. Betsy is from a military family and they have been all over, and in 1930 are documented in the census in Washington, DC, where Robert was working in 1930. See Notes for Elizabeth Bygate Booth.

In 1940, Robert and Betsy are in New York where he is still working as a Chemist in a "Chemist Plant." They were married in about 1933.
