  [Primary listing for Dr. Frank Dowd; all else included in that bio]
  Dr. Frank Dowd, dentist, No. 50 Euclid avenue, was born in Chautauqua county, New York, September 23, 1847, a son of Benjamin H. and Rhoda (Norton) Dowd, the former a native of Vermont, and the latter of New York. The father, a carpenter contractor and builder, came from Vermont to New York in 1824, thence to Tioga county, Pennsylvania, and from there to Chautauqua county New York, in 1837. He was a pioneer in his business in that part of the State. He was a member of the Baptist Church for many years, dying May 3, 1879, at the age of seventy-one years. He was a useful man, extensively known and highly respected as a most worthy citizen. As a skilled workman in his line, no less than as an honored representative citizen, his death was mourned as a loss to the family, the community, and the church of his choice.
  His father, B. Dowd, took part as a faithful soldier in the Revolutionary war. He was one of three brothers who came from England and settled in Vermont in the latter part of the seventeenth century. Our subject's mother, still living, was born in 1812. She is an honored resident of Cleveland and has been a lifelong member of the Baptist Church. She bore her husband eight children, of whom four are now living, namely: Thirzah, widow of Chester Tanner, a farmer of Chautauqua county, New York: she has three children, -- Arthur A., Rhoda and Rosabel; William E., a resident of Erie, Pennsylvania, connected with the mail service in that city: he married Julia Wheeler, and they have three children, -- Edwin, John and Ada; Frank, our subject; and Dr. J. C. Dowd, of Cleveland.
  The gentleman whose name introduces this sketch, was educated in Chautauqua, New York. He studied dentistry for several years before entering the dental college at Indianapolis, Indiana, at which he graduated in the class of 1885. He has practiced since 1872, for the most part in Jamestown, New York. He was demonstrator in the Indianapolist Dental College for some time.
 Dr. Dowd came to Cleveland in 1885, and has been a successful practitioner here ever since. He is a skillful workman of much natural genius and is classed among the best dentists of the country; is thoroughly posted in his profession, is progressive in his views and in every way a good and enterprising citizen.
 Socially, Dr. Dowd is a member of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias. He is Colonel of the staff of General Carnahan, who is Major-General commanding the Uniform Rank of the K. of P. of the world. Dr. Dowd is a member of the Second Regiment of the Ohio Brigade, U. R. K. P.
 Dr. Dowd was married January 6, 1877, to Miss Mary Campbell, daughter of Alexander and Agnes Campbell. The father died about 1873, at about fifty-five years of age. His wife died at about forty years of age. They were born, reared and married in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to the United States in 1858, settling in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mary Campbell Dowd is a native of Scotland.
 There were seven children in the Campbell family, two of whom died in early childhood. The living are: Alexander, a fruit-grower of North Carolina; Mrs. Dowd; Lizzie, wife of E. T. Newkirk, residing in Buffalo, New York; Don, residing in Baltimore, Maryland, connected with the Standard Oil Company; and Agnes, wife of E. F. Spalsbury, a resident of Bath, New York.
  Dr. J. C. Dowd was married in 1873, to Miss Ella Rockwood, daughter of Deacon Rockwood of Union City, Pennsylvania. Dr. Dowd and his wife have five children, viz.: Fred E., a student in the city schools, Bennie, Frank C., Roy and Mabel.
 Mrs. Dowd is a member of the Baptist Church, and Doctor of the Disciple. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias (the main lodge), also of the Maccabees; and he has been a member of several other societies. In politics, he is a thorough Republican.
 Dr. Dowd lived in Kansas from 1879 to 1886. He was engaged in contracting and building in that State, and while there was burned out, losing all. His location was Atchison. He was a member of the Atchison Flambeau Club that took part in the parade at St. Louis at the time of the "Unveiling of the Prophets." He carries a scar resulting from injuries received at that time, and the report came home that he was killed. The injury was caused by the accidental explosion of a bomb, by which five others were injured. Dr. Dowd was carried to the hospital, as it was thought, in a dying condition.
