Rose and Silvia

The photo is unmarked, but I can identify the McDowell sisters, probably with their spouses. Since they were both married multiple times I don't know who the gentlemen are exactly. Rose is on the chair, Silvia on the floor.

Goldie?

Unidentified, but I suspect this is a photo of Goldie, Rose's developmentally disabled daughter who died in her 20s. Don't know which one of Rose's husbands would've been the father.

Rose McDowell

Rose McDowell. I'm guessing this was taken in the second half of the 1890s.

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.
