He had a son named Hershal Richard Dowell, born in 1902, that was born in Barnett, Mo. I have been told that Hershal was raised by his mother's family, of which I have no name for. Hershal had an adopted sister named Era. She was about 2 years older than him. If someone knows anything about this family, I would appreciate very much if they would contact me and share their information. Thank you. Joan Endsley
