(RESEARCH NOTE: I have allocated this Solomon as brother of Christopher and William on the rather vague grounds that (1) all were born in Canada, (2)Christopher had a son called Solomon (an uncommon name with Dowling), (3) ended up living in Chisago as well as William, and (4) both have parents from Ireland. I did this to preserve the potential connection implied by possible coincidence).

OBITUARY DOWLING.
Edward J. Dowling,. was born in Queens County, Ireland, in 1844 and came to this country when about seven years of age and settled in Auburn, N. Y. state. In June 1856 he came to Minnesota with Mr. -Thomas Spencer.

On August 17, 1862, he joined the Minn., 7th Infantry, Co. and was honorably discharged in August 1885 from the rank of Color Sergeant.

He was married Nov. 22nd, 1873 to Miss Agnes Stevenson of St. Charles. To this union there were born three sons and one daughter, Dr. Jay Thos. Dowling, of Seattle, Wash., Dr. George A. Dowling, of Seattle, Wash., Harry' who died in infancy and Mrs. Nessie B. Tingley, of Greely, Colorado. Mrs. Agnes Dowling died in, 1892. The deceased was married the second
time in 1898 to Mrs. Blakeslee who also predeceased him about two years ago.

Mr. Dowling took sick on the 9th of September, 1916 and died on the 18th at the home of his daughter Mrs. Tingley in Colorado,
aged seventy-two years. Beside his two sons and daughter he has left a large number of relatives and friends, the Stevenson and Spencer families being widely known and respected.

He was a member of the G. A. R. a comrade always ready to do his share in lifting the burdens of the oppressed, loyal to the country of his adoption, true to his convictions, but broadminded enough to honor the other fellow's views. Honorable, upright" arid honest, a man who had to fight his way up through life, endowed by nature with more than the average natural
ability, a keen reader and thinker, a kindly husband and indulgent father, a generous neighbor, one of nature's aristocracy.

The funeral service was held in the First Congregational-church, St. Charles, and was conducted by Dr. Kempster. The remains were laid to rest in Hillside cemetery Saturday afternoon, September 23rd, the G. A. R. taking charge at the grave
and read the funeral service of the Grand army.

NB.

Its core principles were Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty, which guided its social, charitable, and patriotic activities - Wikipedia
