Ruby McDowell, 89, of Route 3, Eagle, died Saturday, May 16, 1987, in a Boise 
hospital of a heart attack. Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, 
May 19, at the Alden-Waggoner Chapel, Boise. Burial will follow in the Star 
Cemetery. Mrs. McDowell, a homemaker, was born Oct. 27, 1897, at Del-more, 
Idaho. She was raised in the Star area. She married Wallace McDowell in 1913 at 
Caldwell. Following their marriage they lived around Boise, and Pearl until 
1922, at which time they moved to Warren, Idaho. While there, they operated the 
hotel in Warren for many years and were also involved in mining operations. At 
the outbreak of World War II, they worked in defense at Mountain Home. They 
later moved to a cattle ranch on the Salmon River. They then re-turned to the 
Boise area and purchased property at Eagle where she had resided until her 
death. Ruby loved people, and was al-ways willing to help those with whom she 
came in contact. Survivors include a son, Harold McDowell of Eagle; two sons 
and daughters-in-law, George and Dorothy McDowell of Boise, and Herb and Bessie 
McDowell of Culdesac; 11 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and four great-
great-grandchildren. Her husband and a son, Charles McDowell, died earlier. The 
family suggests that memorials may be made to the March of Dimes, Idaho 
Chapter, 855 S. Curtis Road, Boise 83705. Friends may call Monday from 9 a.m.
