[ a daughter was born 3 months later on 29th April 1854 ]. He died in perfect peace, trusting alone in the merits of his Saviour. The deceased was Governor of Carlow Gaol during the period of 24 years, and we learn with regret, that his family are unprovided for. THE FAMILY OF THE LATE MR. McDOWELL. [ abbreviated extract from appeal ]. We beg to call the earnest attention of our readers in reference to the widow and numerous young family of the late Robert McDowell. We feel that in so doing , we have only to recommend to the benevolent and humane of Carlow, the utterly helpless and painfully destitute condition of a widowed mother and eleven children without the slightest means of support. We need not remind our readers that the late Mr McDowell has been for 24 years a public officer of this county. We express a hope that a few kind friends will form a committee for the purpose of taking the matter into consideration etc. etc.
