Cindy; Did not find a DC or an obit for Samuel Alexander McDowell. I also did not find an obit for Samuel Arthur McDowell, but transcribed his DC. I did find something interesting but wanted to make sure that it was the right one before I transcribed it. I found an S. A. McDowell who married to Belle McKnight on 24 June 1877. Let me know if you want this transcribed. Here is the DC for the son: Source: San Diego 27-632 Name: Samuel A. McDowell 1028 S. 28th San Diego, CA Died: 27 October 1930 in San Diego Male, White, Married, Occupation = philatelist, age = 50 years 9 months 27 days Birth: 30 December 1879, Julian, CA FA: Samuel Alexander McDowell, UNK MO: Belle Perry, PA Cause: Mitral Insufficiency, Congestive Heart Failure, Pulmonary Edema Dr: Alex M. Lesem Mort: Goodbody's Ivy Chapel, San Diego, CA Burial: 31 Oct 1930 - removed to Julian Informant: Alta Nunn, 1365 3rd St, San Diego, CA Misc: 30 years at place of death, life in CA Hope this helps.
