Mr. DOWELL was one of the substantial farmers of this community, and had a host of friends. His illness was brief, but during that time, he was surrounded by all his family, and constantly asserted his readiness to go. He was a constant member of the Presbyterian Church, and an officer in the church for years. He was always earnest and generous; only a few weeks ago, he gave a liberal donation to the church now being built at Irvington remarking, "I may not live to enjoy it, but others will".
