Hi! Here's another obituary. - Jean Griesan Colorado Death of Dr. McDowell. Within the last few days, the community of Quaker Bottom have been made sad over the loss of one of their oldest and most useful citizens, Dr. John McDowell. He came to this neighborhood in the year 1832, and since that time, had acted the part of a faithful physician. The people say "No distance was too great no night too inclement, nor no man too poor for Dr. McDowell." During a large portion of his life he was a member of the M. E. Church, but withdrew about two years ago. Since then he frequently attended public services at Rome Chapel. He had been unwell for some time during the spring, but had so far recovered that he visited some patients, but through the effects of exposure he relapsed. The night before he died, he suffered most intensely, but his death was easy, which occurred about half past six in the evening of the 18th of June. His funeral was preached in the orchard, at his residence, by Rev. Henry Berkstresser, on text Phillip II 21st and he was interred in grave yard on his farm. His son, John McDowell, was attending school in Ironton, and expected soon to graduate, when suddenly, he was summoned home to see his father die. He arrived just in time to have him turn his arms around him and say, "My son!" These was the last words he uttered. May the comfort of the religion of our blessed Christ be given both to the bereaved wife and the orphan son.
