RE: Community Leaders - Memorial Fountain

The gentleman with the last name of 'McGowan', did the major work on not only the fountain but also the brick wall and to inner fountains. There is a picture of Mr. & Mrs. Rice sitting on the fountain in front of Blackshear (Gregory Town) in 1936. Currently, I am searching for Mr. McGowan's first name.
