Erwin Dow deserves to have his information added. If you decide not to add it, that's okay to, because his obituary tells the story. All of his dates are on the death certificate and they are as the obituary states on his date of death. A Civil War Veteran deserves that much respect. Thank you, CMelton #47057822

First wife: Miss Susan Bunnell and second wife: Mrs. Elizabeth Adams
I could not find Prophetstown, Illinois.
I chose the birth date on the death certificate rather than the one in the newspaper obituary, because I doubt he fought in the Civil War at age 11 - 15, and also death certificates are not always, but frequently more accurate than news articles.
And further, if one takes the age stated in years, months and days, it comes out to 1845, not 1854.
His father was Benjamin Dow and his mother Julia Ann Underhill.
When I received the management of this memorial page, there was only one little marker that just said DOW. Later, someone added a picture of an attractive stone for his wife, with his name and birth and death date added in a completely different and smaller letter style. I wonder if it were added way after the fact? I'm also curious of the marker that just said DOW, is in the same vicinity as Susan E. Dow's marker? And lastly, I wonder if it were there all along, and the part about Erwin Dow so small that no one noticed it.
