Dr. William Irvin Dowler

Dr. William Dowler, one of the best known physicians in 
northern Cambria County, died Monday night at his home on 
Beech street, Patton, after a brief illness from stomach 
trouble.  He was taken ill last Friday, but his condition 
did not become serious until a short time before his death.  
The deceased was married six years ago to Miss Sue 
Gallagher of New Washington, Pa., a sister of the Misses S. 
M. Gallagher, A. R. Gallagher and Mrs. Feltwell of the 
Ebensburg Elementary School and he is survived by his wife 
and two children.

The earlier home of Dr. Dowler was in Clearfield County 
where he was born September 18, 1856.  He was the son of 
Capt. James Dowler and Mrs. Cornelia Patton Dowler of 
Burnside.  Capt. Dowler died about four years ago, but Mrs. 
Dowler still lives, residing at Burnside with her daughter, 
Miss Elizabeth Dowler. Other members of Dr. Dowler's family 
are his sisters, Mrs. James Martin of Burnside and Mrs. 
Ellery O. Hartsborne of Clearfield, and his brothers, J. P. 
Dowler of Burnside, James Dowler of Damascus, Va., and 
Harry P. Dowler of Heilwood.

Dr. Dowler was a graduate of the Medical Department of the 
University of Western Pennsylvania; a member of Cambria 
County medical society and a member of the I. O. O. F. from 
his boyhood.  Dr. Dowler was a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, a zealous and consistent worker.

The funeral services were held at his home in Patton on 
Wednesday evening, conducted by the Rev. Joseph A. Anderson 
of Patton, and the Rev. E. H. Whitman of Jersey Shore. 
Services connected with his interment at Burnside were
