NEILLSVILLE PRESS (Neillsville, Clark County, Wis.) 09/18/1924 Dowe, Arthur O. (?
- 1924) In a recent number
of the Wis. Presbyterian, the death of Rev. Arthur O. Dowe is
reported. Mr. Dowe was killed on a street corner in Oakland,
Calif., by the reckless driving of a drunken taxi-cab driver. Some
eight years ago Rev. Dowe conducted a series of Evangelistic
meeting in the Presbyterian Church here (Neillsville, Clark County,
Wis.), and will be remembered by many. He was born in Wisconsin;
after a wild and dissolute youth he was converted in a city rescue
mission in Milwaukee in 1913. For a time he did volunteer work in
the church and was ordained a minister in 1916. A few months later
he went to the Pacific Coast where his work was remarkable
successful. His Wisconsin friends will grieve to learn of his
untimely death. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
