Mrs. Dowler moved with her family from Leamington, Ont. to Mulhurst at Pigeon Lake to homestead in 1902. The hamlet of Mulhurst was named after her father, George Mulligan, who ran the first post office there. Mrs. Dowler married Hobart Dowler, known for his log buildings, in 1910. The couple farmed near Millet for five years, then moved to Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver while Mr. Dowler worked for the Alberta Pacific Grain Co. They then moved to Mulhurst with their three children, then to Mission Beach at Pigeon Lake in 1949 and by that time, Mr. Dowler had developed his hobby of building log houses into a business. He built Rundle's Mission at Mission Beach, the Old Timers' Cabin in Edmonton, about five buildings in the mountains for the Alpine Club and many others. Mrs. Dowler always accompanied her husband on the mountain trips where they often stayed in tents and rode into the area on horse-back. "If he gave her an apple box, she could make it a home she was a fantastic home-maker," said her daughter Betty Holmgren of Edmonton. "She was a great cook, she hooked rugs, quilted, crocheted; you name it, she had terrific hands." Hobart Dowler died in 1962, but Mrs. Dowler continued living at Mission Beach during the summer until her 90th birthday. During the last two years she lived in a nursing home. Mrs. Dowler is survived by her son Donovan of Yellowknife, her daughter Betty Holmgren, 11 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and one sister, Coral Ladd of Warburg. She was predeceased by her son William in 1969. Funeral service will be held on Monday, January 2, 1984 at 3:00 p.m. at Rundle's Mission, Mission Beach, Pigeon Lake with Reverend Dr. G. Hutchinson officiating. Interment to follow at Dowler's property, Pigeon Lake, Mission Beach. Edmonton Journal, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; 31 Dec 1983
