Notes
a. Note:   WILLIAM DOW - (History of Richland Co., A. A. Grahm, 1880)
  Contractor and stone mason, in Mansfield, Ohio. He was born near Edinburg, Scotland, on Oct. 6, 1846, and the first son of John and Janet (Miller) Dow, which was an old and respected family in that country. He migrated to this country in 1869 and came to Mansfield in the summer of 1870. Directly after his arrival here, he was employed by the contractor of the Court House which was being built. He was likewise employed in building the stonework on the Congregational Church in this city. In the spring of 1873 the firm of Hancock and Dow were the contractor and builders of the Mansfield Savings Bank. In 1875 they built the freighthouse of the CC & RR in Columbus and the passenger station in Berea. Among the public and larger buildings for which they were the contractor and masons since that date were the Marysville School in 1876 and the City Hall in the same place, the Masonic Temple in Marion in 1877, Keith and Scattergood Building, and the frontage of the Swigart building. The firm is at present the contractors for the same work in the new City Jail, now in process of erection.
  **********************************************************
  WILLIAM DOW - (History of Richland Co., A. J. Baughmen, 1908)
  President of the Dow Chemical Mfg. Co. and identified with various other interests, keen determination that enables him to understand and embrace business opportunities and to carry them forward to successful completion, long and well defined lines of labor, intelligently directed. Mr. Dow, born in Kincross, Scotland, was educated in that country. He came to America as a young man of 20 years, locating in New York. Later he moved to Cleveland, Ohio and afterward to Mansfield, where he has conducted a general contracting business until his practical retirement from business activities and management. He was closely connected to the building interests here and many substantial monuments of his thrift and enterprise stand in the city. He is now living largely retired in the enjoyment of a well-earned rest, although he is financially connected with various Corporate interests which are contributing substantially in building of the city and giving the stockholders a goodly return.
  In 1903 Mr. Dow and his three sons established the Dow Chemical Mfg. Co., of which is is president. He is also vice-president of the Ideal Electric Co., director of the Bank of Mansfield, and Director of the Barnes Mfg. Co.; also in a coal and timber company operating in W. Va. and in the Mechanics Savings and Loan. As the years passed and he prospered in his undertakings, he also invested in realty and is the owner of a consider-able amount of valuable property in the city. His buildings include his home at 564 Park Avenue West in this city, the residence being built in 1896.
  Mr. Dow was married in Forest, Ohio to Miss Lusetta Sletzer*** of an old German family connected with nobility. There are three sons, John W., Treasurer of the Dow Chemical Mfg. Co., Ralph, who is Secretary, and Walter, who is Vice-President.
  ...................................................................................................................................
  *** This statement is untrue. First, William and Lusetta were married in 1875 in Mansfield, Ohio (this is recorded in the Court House). Second, her name was not Sletzer, but Lautermilch. Her marriage license and death certificate and all other information lists her as such. This possibly came about from the fact that a half brother had his name changed to Sletzer in Cleveland.
