Byron C. Dowse was born and reared on his father's farm, and he is the oldest continuous resident of Pleasant Prairie township who has lived where he was born, his birth having taken place Jan. 16, 1849. He was educated in the district schools and grew up to be a practical farmer. After his father retired he took possession of the home place and has another farm of eighty acres in the township, the total aggregate being 260 acres. It is all valuable land, and under Mr. Dowse's capable management is one of the most productive properties in the county.
Byron C. Dowse was married March 10, 1873, to Miss Isabella B. Stewart, daughter of John and Jeannette (Ogston) Stewart, and six children were, born to them: Ernest R., John C., Carlton A., Walter S., Milton and Richard. The only one yet married was Ernest R., who died at the age of twenty-six years, leaving a widow, formerly Miss Sarah Lovejoy.
The parents of Mrs. Byron C. Dowse were born in Scotland. They came to America in 1842 and settled in Benton township, Lake Co.,ILL., where the father followed farming during his active life, and died on his property when over eighty years old. His wife had died some years previously. They were highly respected residents of the community in which they lived.
Like his aged father, Mr. Dowse is identified with the Republican party, and he has served in township offices, having been on numerous occasions elected supervisor and served as chairman of the board. Both he and his father have seen wonderful changes in this section of fair Wisconsin during their residence here, and both have done their full share in the educational and material development of this part of Kenosha county.
