General Notes: Husband - Samuel S. McDowell

---

When twenty-two years of age he purchased a canal-boat, and for about four years was engaged in boating on the Erie Canal. He then built boats one season, making one which he sailed two years on Lake Erie and then sold to M. B. Lowry of Erie. He afterward returned home, settled down, and married. For three years after marriage he engaged in agricultural pursuits, then was foreman on canal, Conneautville to junction of canal, till 1859, when his health failed, and he went on a fishing expedition to Cape Ann and Gulf of St. Lawrence. He returned the following fall and followed farming and lumbering till 1866, when he moved to Conneautville, where he remained. He filled many of the township offices, serving at one time as Justice of the Peace, Summerhill; three years as Jury Commissioner of the county; and two terms as President of the Crawford County Agricultural Society. He was a member of the State police, and captured more horse-thieves and burglars than any man in Crawford County, and received many warnings to be on his guard, or they would put a stop to him as detective. He owned 160 acres of improved land, part of which was his father's old homestead. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which he joined in 1837. In politics he was a stanch Republican, with strong temperance proclivities.
