hich this boy started his fortune still stood on the Dowling farm west of Pinckard. "H.H." as he was known became the first millionaire to descend from ancestor Robert Dowling, ...Yet one of his first endeavors had been the job of "butch" boy on his hometown's railroad, selling onion plants, seed, newspapers, etc.” Eventually, Hayward Hart came into the possession of the Houston Hotel in Dothan, Alabama.
(After Noel Dowling's death, Robert Ramsey, attorney and developer, bought out several of the heirs and held the controlling interest in the Hotel. Hilda Ramsey ran the restaurant which was famous for its delicious shrimp salad and mile high lemon meringue pie. The elegant ballroom became one of the favorite places for folks to go eat after church on Sundays. I remember attending a cotillion ball in the ballroom after my ballroom dancing classes. My mother-in-law, Hilda Ramsey, did a beautiful after rehearsal party for my husband (her son) and me in the ballroom.) The ballroom is now the set for WTVY news.
Noel Baxter Dowling built a home in Dothan, Alabama, at 401 North Alice Street, which eventually became the home of his daughter Cora Lee Dowling and her husband, Richard Hawthorne Ramsey. Richard Hawthorne Ramsey came to Pinckard for work on the Midland Railroad. His father, David Wardlaw Ramsey was a veteran of the Civil War who trained at Tulane University as a doctor after the War and then became a Baptist minister. The church at which he preached was on the property that was once part of a large plantation owned by Joseph Richard Hawthorne, his wife’s father. David Wardlaw Ramsey’s father, Abiezer Clark Ramsey, had been a Methodist circuit rider before marrying Elizabeth Amanda Wardlaw Bonham, the widow of Simon Bonham, planter and lawyer who moved his family from Abbeville, South Carolina, to Wilcox County, Alabama. Soon after Simon Bonham died, Elizabeth Amanda Wardlaw’s brother-in-law was killed with his friend Travis at the Alamo.
Cora and Richard Hawthorne Ramsey raised their four children, Richard Hayward, Joseph Robert, Cassie and Francis, in this house (above right). Their son, Robert Ramsey remembered driving the cow from his parent’s house in the 400 block of North Alice Street to his grandparent’s farm in Pinckard (below). The home on N. Alice is now Mildred's Restaurant.
This is the Pinckard, Dale County, country home for Noel Baxter Dowling.

1. FRAMPTON1 DOWLING was born Abt. 1600 in in Tyrone County, Ireland.
Arrived in America Abt August 1643 from Ireland.[wiseIIIr1.FTW][E Dowling.FTW] According to the book, "Early Virginia Immigrants" pg. 97, there lists an Fr. Dowling who came in 1643 b y way of a ship whose Captain was Samuel Mathews, Esq. All records that can be found indicate this is the same Frampton Dowling. According to the book, "Dowling's of the South" by R. A . Dowling, too, list that on August 1, 1643 a FRAMPTON Dowling arrived in Virginia on board Captain Samuel Matthews ship. It is not known whether he was the father of a Corporal WILLIAM Dowling mentioned in Maryland records of 1694 nor whether he was kin to the Robert Dowling referred to in the Augusta County records of Virginia in1700.What is known, however, that in Virginia about 1730, a small DOWLING was born and given the name of ROBERT. Had he died without issue, DOWLING-blooded person mentioned in this book would have ever lived. For he was the Father of this Dowling Family - a family that has more descendants in the South than any other by the name Dowling.

A short time after retiring, she aroused her companion by giving signs of the arm, and a few minutes after, she sank in the arms of death. As she went she shouted, "Glory,glory", and told those present that she would soon be in heaven; that "myroom is full of heavenly light."
She was an affectionate mother, a dutiful and kind wife, a generous mistress. She raise d fourteen children of whom two are Methodist preachers. At her burial there were 108 of her descendants present.

Bake potatoes for 75 minutes (or until done) in oven preheated to 350°. While the potatoes are still hot, cut them in half across the “short side”, and carefully scoop out the contents, reserving the skins to be refilled later. Mash the scooped out potato with lightly salted butter to the desired consistency. Add finely chopped scallions to taste, and one finely chopped sweet pickle. Mix well. Carefully refill the potato skins with this mixture. Place stuffed potatoes into a glass baking dish (They should be placed close together, so that they touch one another.) Cover the tops of the potatoes with grated sharp cheddar cheese, and bake again in a preheated 350° oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
The potatoes may be made in advance and refrigerated, but it is a good idea to allow them to come up to room temperature before you bake them the second time to melt and brown the cheese.
To this sautéed mixture, add dark crabmeat (approximately the amount in 4 crabs), which has been carefully picked over and all of the shell and cartilage removed. Then add two slices of white bread, which have been soaked in water and then had all of the water squeezed out of them. Blend together, then blend in ½ cup finely chopped parsley. Then blend in 2 well beaten eggs, and season the mixture with Tabasco® and black pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture back into the crab shells, sprinkle fine, seasoned bread crumbs over the top, and then bake in a 350° oven for about 20 minutes, or until done.
If you want to make crabcakes, rather than bake the mixture in crab shells or ramekins, gently mold the mixture into cakes, refrigerate until firm, roll the cakes in bread crumbs or corn meal, then fry ‘till done.
Wesson® oil. Beat well after each addition. Pour into greased tube pan and bake in 300° oven for 1 hour. Remove cake from oven, but leave it pan. While still very hot, punch holes over top of cake with ice pick or tooth pick and pour this icing over it.
Mix 1½ lbs. ground beef with ¼ cup of chopped onions, 1 cup of “instant” oats, I cup of tomato juice, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and form into patties. In a skillet, brown the patties on both sides in butter. Remove patties from pan, and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the cooking juices. To the 3 tablespoons of cooking juices add 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 cup of beef broth, and ½ cup of sherry. Mix and bring to a boil. Add the patties, reduce eat, and cook until done, about 15 minutes. Add 4 oz. of either fresh or drained canned mushrooms and heat through. Serve over rice.
Soak 3 slices of white bread in ½ cup of beef broth. Into a blender put 1 egg, 1 small onion that has been chopped, 1 peeled clove of garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika, ¼ teaspoon of thyme, and black pepper to taste. Add the three slices of broth soaked bread, and blend until smooth. Add this mixture to 2 lbs. of ground beef and mix well. Form the meat balls, using one level tablespoon of the mixture for each meat ball.
Strain a 1 lb. can of Italian tomatoes, and put the tomatoes, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 6 ginger snaps, into the blender and blend until smooth.
Pour this mixture into a pan, add the meat balls, and cook slowly for 1 ½ hours.
Pour ½ cup of cold water into a saucepan. Sprinkle in 1 package of Knox® unflavored gelatin. Add 1/3 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Then add the yolks of 3 eggs, and mix well. Place over very low heat, and stir until the gelatin has dissolved and the mixture has thickened somewhat. Do not boil! Stir into the mixture ¼ cup of cognac and ¼ cup of crème de cacao. Cool the mixture until it mounds slightly. Beat 3 egg whites until foamy. Slowly add 1/3 cup of sugar, and beat until like meringue. Fold the egg white mixture into the mounded egg yolk mixture; then fold in 1 cup whipped heavy cream. Pour the mixture into individual soufflé ramekins with well buttered collars. Cover with SaranWrap®, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Serve garnished with a dollop of whipped cream and shaved bitter chocolate.
The flavoring for this cold soufflé may be varied to suit the occasion, and many other liqueurs will be found to be equally effective. Vary the garnish, other than the whipped cream, accordingly.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 1½ quart baking dish.
Combine ½ cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Add 2 well beaten eggs, 1 1lb. can of creamed corn, and 1 13 oz. can of evaporated milk. Mix well, and pour into the baking dish. Dot liberally with butter, and bake for about 1 hour, or until center is almost firm.
Cook 1 cup of grits in 1½ cups of hot water until done. When the grits are done, add 4 Tablespoons of lightly salted butter, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon of sugar. Cook until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, and add 2 well-beaten eggs, 1½ cups of milk, and ¾ cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well, and pour the mixture into a well greased 2 quart casserole. Top with more grated cheese, and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30 minutes.
