According to the history that is in a printout on the altar, Rev. Littleton Fowler loved McMahan Chapel so very much that he requested that when he died, that he be buried under the pulpit of the Chapel. So in January 1846, he was buried under the pulpit of the first dirt floor building. The Chapel has been rebuilt three times since he was buried (the most recent was in 1949). Each new building has been built around Rev. Fowler's grave. His massive headstone is the backdrop of the pulpit. At the bottom of his headstone is United Methodist Minister medallion set in stone.
His headstone reads:
"Rev. Littleton Fowler, Presiding Elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Son of Godfrey & Clara Fowler. Born 1803. Died January 29, 1846. His native land, Kentucky; his adopted, Texas; his final home, Heaven."
