Ozark Tribune
Ozark Tribune, Sept.13, 1904
 HORACE O'NEAL DOWLING This picture presents to our readers the likeness of one 
of our smartest business men and a man who is very popular with everybody 
because of his honest and manly way of dealing with people. 
  He was born November 17th, 1872, being the oldest son of Hon. G.P. Dowling. 
He was born in Ozark and has lived here all of his life and has built up a fine 
business and succeeded at everything he has ever begun.  
  He  was educated at the schools of this place and after receiving what 
advantages he could get out of the schools in Ozark, to better prepare himself 
for the business he had chosen for life he attended Sullivan's Business College 
at Atlanta, Ga., and  he well knows when books are kept in first-class 
condition.  
  On  December 20th, 1896, he married Miss Nora Bowen, one of the prettiest 
young women in all this section and the writer, as he beheld them joined in 
matrimony, thought then and still thinks there never was two people thus 
happily joined together that seemed to be more suited than this splendid young 
couple, for we have always admired the contracting parties. 
  Mr. Dowling has all along been an active and ardent member of the Methodist 
church and every time you run along with him he stands by his pastor and the 
church. Politically Mr. Dowling is an enthusiastic democrat and a strong party 
man. Was alderman from ward one of this city for four years. Mr. Dowling is an 
earnest and faithful Mason and is now secretary of that important organization 
in this city. 
  Horace Dowling has the general management of the very large business of G.P. 
Dowling Hardware Company and he has most successfully managed it and is winning 
golden opinions as a fine business  man. He is a great hustler and we do  
believe of all of our citizenship he is the most sanguine lover and admire of 
Ozark. He is always advocating our city and never fails to put in a word for 
the upbuilding of our town. He can always see something nice he can say for our 
city. And we can surely ever find him a friend to the best interest of the 
city. Whenever anything comes up that will push forward Ozark he will always be 
found with his shoulder to the wheel. Quick and active in all things and the 
personification of energy and enterprise, he has pushed his mammoth business to 
a remarkable high place in the business affairs of our city and he stands 
second to none. He, with his interesting family, lives in one of the prettiest 
homes in our city up on Broad street and they stand high in our social circles. 
His manners are very pleasing and he takes hold of a business proposition with 
alerity and skillfully disposes matters with a judgment of a much older head. 
He is a first rate success and a charming fine fellow.
