Author: RuthMcArthur Surnames: Dowdy,Culbertson, Farris, Montel Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.california.counties.kern/14646/mb.ashx Message Board Post: John A. Dowdy was born in Missouri 11 Jan 1858. He married three times in that state, surviving all three wives. He and his third wife, Ruth Ann Culbertson, had two children, both of whom went to Kern County, CA to live following the death of Ruth Ann in 1911, seeking work in the oil fields. I have located him and his two children in that area in both the 1920 and 1930 census. My information is that John A. Dowdy died 31 Dec 1939 in Kern County, California. Elzie Dowdy, youngest son of John A. Dowdy and Ruth Ann Culbertson Dowdy, is enumerated in Bakersfield in the 1930 census. He is married to Maud Montel and they have one daughter, Maudine, at that time. I have no other information about Elzie or his family. Effie M. Dowdy married Floyd A. Farris in Bakersfield abt. 1920. They continued to live in that area until Effie's death in 1956. Floyd relocated to Santa Barbara some time after that date and died there in 1966. I am interested in finding someone who could obtain documentation for any of these events, or to verify that my information is correct.
