Default Benjamin R. Dow

mneck1814:

I was doing research on the Dow family of Laconia about a year ago. The family member I was interested in finding was a Benjamin Dow. When searching Bayside Cemetery for his grave, I came across the monument of a Benjamin R. Dow. I copied down the information, but later found it was not the Benjamin I was looking for, as I learned Benjamin R. lived in Moultonborough. The one I was interested in was Benjamin F. Dow, who was the brother of John H. Dow, the founder of the Dow Oil Company. The Dows who settled in Laconia were from Kensington, NH. Wonder if the two families were related somehow?

When reading your post this morning, I wondered about it and found the notes I had written at Bayside. Benjamin R. was born 1/2/1867 and died 2/28/1924; his wife was Eva E. (12/9/1872 – 3/15/1956). There are other family members buried in the lot, as well. Is this your ancestor? Interesting.
