Y., Nov. 16, 1814, and died in New York city, March 30, 1890. The Dows or Dowse family, which originated in the neighborhood of Colchester and Billerica in Essex, England, was of the strict Puritan type, and one of its members, Eleazar, served as a Colonel under Oliver Cromwell in the army of the Commonwealth. He took an active part in organizing The New York Elevated Railroad Co. in 1872. For ten years he took an energetic part in the control of this road and for several years more remained a director of the new Manhattan Railway Co.The latest period of Mr. Dows's business career is marked by his activity in the world of finance, the natural result, first, of large wealth seeking investment, and, secondly, of the demand of financial institutions for men of large and varied experience. He thus helped to organize and direct The Corn Exchange, The Fourth National and The Merchants' Banks, The Central Trust Co. of New York and The Union National Bank of Chicago.
