BOOK OF DOW DEDICATION PAGE

To

Edgar Randolph Dow

who died Portland, Me., 1909, the Pioneer of Dow Genealogy, whose letters of inquiry, from 1881 to 1908, amounted high into the thousands, whose life ambition was to publish this volume, who died without knowing that such was possible.

And to

Herbert Beeman Dow

of Woburn, Mass., who gave freely every item collected painstakingly in nearly forty years, a great Genealogical collection. The Author, who has built upon their foundation, offers a grateful dedication.
