DR. C.R. MACDOWALL DIES SUDDENLY
The death occurred suddenly at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, on Sunday, March 25, 1973, of Dr. Clifford Ross MacDowall of Carleton Place. He had been a patient in hospital for the previous ten days. He was 66.
Dr. MacDowall was well and favourably known in Almonte, and since his retirement from active practice some ten years ago has helped the local doctors on numerous occasions to look after the medical needs of Almonte and area residents.
He was born in Montreal in 1906, a son of the late William Samuel MacDowall and his wife, May Muir, and came to Almonte at an early age. He received his education in Almonte public and high schools and entered Queen's University. He graduated in medicine from Queen's in 1932, and served his internship at Albany, New York, following which he started practice in Almonte. In 1942 he went to Carleton Place, taking over the practice of Dr. I W James.
Always a keen sportsman, Ross played hockey with the Almonte teams in the late twenties. While at Queen's he was a member of the Eastern Canada Memorial Cup champions who lost out to the Winnipeg Monarchs in the national finals.
He was an avid curler and golfer, and was a past president of both the Carleton Place Curling Club and the Mississippi Golf Club. He was a member and Past Worshipful Master of Mississippi Lodge AF & AM, No. 147 Almonte.
Dr. MacDowall was twice married. His first wife was the former Marjorie Scott of Almonte, and second, Edna Hoffman of Carleton Place, both of whom predeceased him.
Surviving are one daughter, Pamela (Mrs. William Jamieson) of Arnprior: two brothers, Donald of Ottawa, and Dawson of Carleton Place, and two grandchildren, Scott and Jane Jamieson.
