Rose McDowell

Printed: Superior Finish, Brumfield, Ouray, Colo.

Rose M. McDowell was born in 1880. Her first husband, Hugh Carney, was a miner in Ouray, Colorado. His fate is unknown. Husband number 2, Demmit Miller, died as a result of drinking bad booze at party in Denver during Prohibition or so the story goes. Husband number 3 was Harry Nash, a coal or oil company executive, they say.

Details on her life are rather sketchy. They say she had some association with Mamie Eisenhower's father, John Sheldon Doud. She died in 1951 and is buried in Centralia, Washington.
