J.B. McDowell More than three score and ten years ago, Capt. J.B. McDowell was born in Talbot County. Early in life, he began teaching and many are the pupils, who went out from his tender care, that “rise up and call him blessed.” At the beginning of the Civil War he joined the Army, and served with loyalty and distinction, enduring hardships and privations for the country he loved so well. He married Miss Nannie Daniel. For many years they lived happily together, rearing a large family, but the summons came first to the wife to come up higher. Capt. McDowell was a mason. Since last November he has been a constant sufferer, he was surrounded by kind friends and thoughtful loved ones, but death came as a release from the physical afflictions, he had borne so long and patiently. On Wednesday, March 3rd, he passed away in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Johnson. The remains were laid in Oak Hill Cemetery. Among the children who survive him are: Messrs. James, Augusta, Clarence and Thomas McDowell and Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. McCrory of Woodland is a sister. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
