================================
The following is from the Barnesville Enterprise; 9 May 1895:
Bethesda
........"Mr. Clarence Dowdell died Saturday morning, May 4, 1895, at the home of his father near town. He had been in poor health for a year or more suffering with lung trouble but had been able to sit up and walk about and had driven into town on Monday. On Wednesday he began rapidly to sink and soon passed away at the early age of twenty-six years leaving a young wife and two little boys. Funeral was held Sunday afternoon, services by his pastor, Rev. Kerr, at Ebenezer church. The church was crowded to full capacity, and a great number of persons were unable to get in; showing how much our people sympathize with the bereaved ones. The deceased was born and reared in the home where he died, and has a host of friends who hoped he might be spared to rear his children. He was a member of the Baptist church at Ebenezer. Those from a distance attending the funeral were, J.H. Colvig and family of Barnesville, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Waddell and Miss Annie Keckley, Mt. Pleasant; Clyde Dowdell, Wheeling. The sympathy of our people is with the bereaved friends."
The following is from the same issue as above, just farther down in the same column:
........"Thomas Heskett, the well known B&O conductor, attended the funeral of his nephew, Clarence Dowdell, last Sunday.
........"The funeral of Clarence Dowdell, last Sunday is said to have been the largest ever held at Ebenezer. It was estimated that 700 persons were in attendance."

William W DOWDELL b. 12-5-1853 Belmont Co; d. 3-23-1939 Newark, Licking Co OH.
All list parents as James DOWDELL/Elizabeth CUSTER.
11-24-1848 James DOUDLE m. Elizabeth CUSTER, Belmont Co Marriage Records.
James may have been married previously, or has guardianship for Samson b c 1844. There are 2 DOWDELL females ae 8 & 3 lvg with other families 1850, so these 3 may have been orphaned.
Per the 1860 census James/Eliz had Nancy, Mary, Wm W, and Sampson is still with the family.
Eliz CUSTER is probably the d/o George & Nancy both b PA 1800-1803; resided Somerset Twp 1850.
There are a couple of DOWDELL etal 1830-40 Belmont Co...none in Somerset Twp, so I don't want to speculate on f/o James.
I will see what I can dig up for UMBOWERS tomorrow.
