Jacob J. Dowler died at his home in this city, Thursday, August 3rd. Death came after an illness of several weeks and the passing of Mr. Dowler marks the close of a life well spent, both in the service of his county and his fellow men. For thirty-three years he has been a resident of Eureka, a good citizen always willing to do his part in helping to build up the educational and industrial interest of the community.
Jacob J. Dowler was born in Piqua, Ohio, May 11, 1845. He lived there until 1864, when he enlisted for three years in the 45th Ohio Infranty, with which company he served until the close of the war.
In 1868 he came to Garnett, Kansas and was married to Mary J. Clark at that place in 1871.
They removed to Eureka seven years later. To this union came three children, Blanche Dowler Basscom, deceased, May Dowler Brookover, of Eureka, and Fred Dowler, whose home is in Elk county.
These with the gried stricken wife, have the sincere sympathy of many friends in their great affliction.
The funeral service was held from the home Saturday afternoon. Dr. I.C. Paugh, as chaplain of both the Odd Fellows and Masonic Lodge, of which orders Mr. Dowler was a member, conducted the service, and the Odd Fellow ritualistic work was given at the house, while the Masons had charge at the grave, Rev. C.B. Wells, of Wichita, who had been Mr. Dowler's pastor for five years, made a few remarks and read an obituary notice. Two Civil War veterans, two Odd Fellows and two Masons served as pall bearers and interment was in Greenwood cemetery.
