Mr.. Dowis lived for fow years in Anderson
County, and we believe resided in Georgia

to Walhalla, until some two months prior to
his death, and even Inst week, he rallied
sufficiently to come to town in his buggy.
lie could neithor read no: writo. but was a

Church for many years, and in Muy, 1877,
connected himself with the Walhalln Baptist
