   Daniel T. DOWD, 2317 Twenty Eighth street, bailiff in Judge C. C. HAMILTON’s 
court, dropped dead in the bailiff’s room at the courthouse at 10 o’clock Friday morning

Sioux City 25 years ago.  He was employed 12 years by the Sioux City Service company, 
worked 12 years as a clerk and carrier at the Sioux City postoffice and was appointed 
bailiff April 1, 1925.  He was an active member of Landmark lodge, No. 103, and was 
prominent in Masonic circles.  He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eva DOWD; four 
children, Lois, Dorothy, Thomas and Elsie, all of Sioux City; four brothers, Jesse DOUD
