Daniel Gould Fowle (March 3, 1831 – April 7, 1891) was the 46th governor of the U.S. state of North Carolina from 1889 until his death in 1891. He had served as a state superior court judge from 1865 to 1867.[1]
Fowle was the first governor to live in the governor's official residence, and ultimately died. According to popular legend, the ghost of Gov. Fowle has haunted the North Carolina Executive Mansion from time to time.[2][3]
