The Southern Star, Wednesday, June 22, 1892, No. 47, Ozark, AL

Noel Dowling was born in Darlington District, South Carolina, December 25, 1809, and died at 6 p.m. June 15th 1892, aged 82 years, 5 months, and 20 days.

He came to Alabama, arriving in Dale County, March 1826, two years after the county was formed and has been a citizen of the county for 66 years. As a citizen, he was patriotic and true. He helped to civilize this county by his true courage and Christian manhood.

November 7th 1831 he was most happily married to Sally McDonald and settled the home near where he died. He had been a married man 60 years and 6 months. He became the father of 8 sons and 1 daughter, all of whom still live except two sons. His first child to die was Marcus Lafayette, who died of scarlet fever June 24th, 1843, who sleeps at Claybank. His next to die was James King, who died a soldier at Pensacola, Florida, Sept. 6th, 1861, and who also sleeps at Claybank.

By hard work he made an ample living and reared his children in christian culture. He led them and taught them by consistent example and wise precept. His pure life was continuously beautiful. As a legitimate consequence his devoted children loved him with pure hearts fervently.

Being taught and impressed by a pious father and mother he became a member of the Methodist church in young manhood, and lived a quiet and faithful member 'till called to the church above. As a christian he was strong in Bible doctrine and upright in practice. He was liberal and hospitable. Freely he gave to build churches and support the ministry. He led multitudes and helped to sustain camp meetings. Never did the poor go from his home unsupplied. Never did the hungry go from his ample shelter unfed.

As a husband he was all the word implies. His stricken and heart-crushed wife called him "that sweet husband". As a father he could not have done more considering his conditions. As his weeping children look back over his life with them, they see all in the light of harmony and beauty.

He was a man of "secret prayer". He had a time and a place for prayer. There and elsewhere he would take off his hat and kneel down in fervent supplication and intercession. Hence he was fed on spiritual food obtained in prayer. Therefore when he was death approaching he could say "I am not afraid." "I am ready". "I have peace of heart".

Surrounded by his weeping family and others he gently passed from earth to Heaven at 6 p.m. June 15th, 1892, leaving his sweet name among loved ones as "Ointment poured forth".
