BIO OF HIS SON:
William T. Dowdall, M. D., B. A.
Occupying a conspicuous place in the professional galaxy of Peoria stands Dr. William T. Dowdall, a physician and surgeon whose natural ability, education and training have secured for him not only a fine general practice but also numerous appointments of trust and honor by various life insurance companies and fraternal orders and by one of the greatest railroad corporations in this state. The Doctor has practiced in Peoria since 1905. He is a native of this city, born August 18, 1872, a son of William T. and Delle (Mason) Dowdall. His father for twenty-five years was a newspaper man in Illinois. During his professional career he published two papers in Peoria -- The Peoria Daily National Democrat (succeeded later by the Herald) and the Evening Review. He likewise published the Pekin (Ill.) Times, the Virginia Enquirer and the Jacksonville Daily Courier. William T. Dowdall was also the first postmaster to occupy the present fine postoffice building of this city, serving four years during President Cleveland's first term of office. He is now living retired in Memphis, Tennessee, with another son, Paul Mason Dowdall, an attorney.
William T. Dowdall, Jr., whose name introduces this review, received his early education in the common and high schools of the city of his nativity. He became the first special delivery messenger in Peoria. Wishing to augment his knowledge, he entered the Illinois College at Jacksonville, there taking the preparatory course, and afterward attended the Wabash College at Crawfordsville, Indiana, from which he was graduated in 1895 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. In the fall of that year he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago, being graduated with honors from that institution in 1898. Subsequently he had over one year's experience as interne at the West Side Hospital in Chicago and then secured a civil service appointment placing him on the board of health in that city, a position which he held from 1899 until 1903. During that time he was on the smallpox staff and also was commissioned to the care of scarlet fever and diphtheria cases. After the valuable professional experience thus secure in Chicago, Dr. Dowdall, with his brother, Dr. Guy Dowdall, now chief surgeon of the Illinois Central Railroad went to Clinton, Illinois, in 1903, there practicing in partnership with his brother until 1905, when he came to Peoria. During the period of their residence in Clinton the brothers were division surgeons for the Illinois Central. On coming to Peoria, Dr. William T. Dowdall opened offices at No. 105 South Jefferson street and later removed to suite 232, Woolner building, where he is now located , In addition to discharging the duties devolving him by reason of his large general practice, Dr. Dowdall acts as local surgeon for the Illinois Central Railroad, examiner for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the Central Union Life Insurance Company, and Hartford Life Insurance Company, the Modern Woodmen of America, Independent Order of Foresters, Mystic Workers of the World and Fraternal Reserves. He is a member of the National Railroad Surgeons Association, the American Medical Association and the Peoria City and Illinois State Medical Societies.
Dr. Dowdall was united in marriage, in 1901, to Miss Anna Connole of Carrollton, Illinois, and to them has been born one child, Annadelle Mason Dowdall. Mrs. Dowdall is a leader in musical circles of the city and with her rich soprano of a peculiarly soft timbre and sweetness, of remarkable power of expression, and precision and clearness of tone, even in the upper registers, often delights enraptured audiences with her renditions. The Doctor is a prominent member of the Creve Coeur and Kickapoo Golf Clubs.
