THOMAS DOW

Services Held For Perham Blacksmith

PERHAM, July 11 [1949] -- Funeral services for Thomas Dow were held at the Perham Baptist church Tuesday. Interment will be in Fairview cemetery, Perham.

Mr. Dow was a blacksmith by trade and had been in business in Perham over 41 years. When machinery took the place of horses on the farm, he at first feared he would have nothing to do, but he then did repair work and built snowplows and snow rollers and for the past several years specialized in building truck bodies, rock carts and trailers.

Bearers were Walter Dow, George Harris, Earnest Harris, Woodbury Harris, Herbert Bondeson, and Basil Fox.
