After a long and heroic struggle to regain his health, Thomas Dowdle passed away at the Community hospital in Warsaw, Friday evening, January 8, at 9:40 o'clock, just one week following his removal from Buffalo, where he had been staying with his sister, Mrs. Simpson, for the past two months. The cause of his death was due to Bright's disease, with other complications. About three years ago the deceased underwent a serious operation at the Warsaw hospital, from which he recovered and for a time his condition seemed greatly improved. A year or so later other complications developed and being unable to find relief elsewhere, he decided to consult the famous Mayo Brothers of Rochester, Minnesota. He left for that place in April, 1925, remaining there five weeks receiving great benefit. Upon his return after spending a few weeks with his sister in Warsaw, he was again able to resume his work her in the meat market, assisted by his son: Maynard, whom he had taken into partnership in the business. His improvement in health was short duration however, and in October last, he sold his business and also his home on Wheton avenue and accompanied by his son, journeyed to Florida hoping a change in climate might prove beneficial. His hopes failed to be realized, since he steadily grew worse after reaching there and one month later he returned to Buffalo where he has since been with his sister, until January 1st when he was removed to Warsaw.
Thomas Michael Dowdle was born in Pennsylvania, October 22, 1878 the son of Ellena Daley and Edward Dowdle. His young manhood was spent in Warsaw and Silver Springs. He attended school in Geneseo. In 1900 he was united in marriage to Miss Marie Isabelle Ribaud of this place. Two sons were born to them, Harold Edward and George Maynard, both of whom survive the former being employed here in the Salt plant, making his home with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Ribaud and the latter having been in St. Petersburg, Florida since last October. Except for a short time spent in Le Roy and Warsaw, the family has resided here. Mrs. Dowdle died in December, 1923.
About ten years ago Mr. Dowdle went into the meat and grocery business, which he carried on very successfully. He was well liked both in the business and social life, his accommodating ways and genial manner winning many warm friends, which in a large degree contributed to his success in business.
Besides his two sons, he is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Mary O'Brien, Mrs. Esther Gavigan and Mrs. Nellie Sonne of Warsaw and Mrs. Sadie Simpson of Buffalo.
The funeral which was largely attended was held from Saint Michael's church in Warsaw, Monday at ten o'clock a.m. with burial in Saint Michael's cemetery, beside his wife.
A large number from Silver Springs attended the funeral.
