Obituary

We regret to learn of the rather sudden death of a very old resident of the district (relict of the late Mr. A. Dowell), who passed away in the Cowra District Hospital on Tuesday morning. Fuller particulars are withheld until next issue. Cowra Free Press, Wednesday 8 October 1919, p. 2. Sarah Dowell Death

Obituary

THE LATE MRS. S. J. DOWELL. As briefly stated in our last issue, the death occurred at the Cowra District Hospital on Monday evening of Mrs. S. J. Dowell, relict of the late Abraham Dowell, at the age of 60 years. The deceased lady had not enjoyed good health for some little time and entered the District Hospital for the purpose of being operated upon, when it was hoped she would be considerably improved in health. Such was not to be however, as she passed away peacefully in her sleep as stated. The late Mrs. Dowell was a native of Goulburn, being a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Richey. When 19 years of age she was married at Young to the late Mr. Abraham Dowell, who predeceased her some 15 years. She leaves a sorrowing family of three daughters and two sons, viz., Mrs. H. McAuliffe (Auburn), Misses Ivy and Alma (Cowra), Messrs William (Thirroul), and Arthur (Casino). Another son, Ernest, was killed at Gallipoli. The funeral took place to the Church of England cemetery on Wednesday, Rev. John Parr officiating at the grave. Messrs Poignand & Murray carried out the arrangements. A particularly sad feature in connection with the death is the fact that the wedding of Miss Ivy Dowell and Capt. Allan Gray had been fixed for the day on which Mrs. Dowell was buried. At the special request of the deceased lady it will now take place on Wednesday next. Cowra Free Press, Saturday 11 October 1919, p. 3. Sarah Dowell Obituary
