    • Dow & his brother George attended Ann Arbor university in Michigan during the 1870's. Neither of them finished at the university.
    • Census 1880-1920 Idaho & family records of Kay Hawkins of Parma Idaho.
    • Information from Kay Hawkins of Parma Idaho. Death certificate, letters, legislature records & etc.
    • He headed west, arriving in Denver where he drove a bull team because of the good money. He did not know how to start them when he got up on the wagon. He was told, "You got to cuss them. They won't start unless you cuss them." Dow had never spoken a cuss word before in his life, but he started cussing the bulls & was on his way. From Denver he came to the Owyhee River area & around Homedale. He ran cattle there & on Reynold's Creek in 1875.
    • On March 12 1887, Dow wrote J W who lived in the Dalles, where he taught school, about his place in Idaho & told him to join him.
    • Dow married Margaret O'Keefe of Jordan Valley & moved to Wichoney Springs that year. There was a dugout in the bank new the creed that was about 5-6 feet high in the back & with a rocked up front. They never lived there but moved into the squatter's cabin on the range. Dow had an 8 room house built in the early 1890's with rocks quarried from First Gulch near where the house stood. The mud between the rocks was also from the area next to the house & the walls were 2 feet thick. The wooden railings, were counter sunk on the stairs, floors were made with 4 inch flooring. & beams in the ceiling were 10 inches apart. The lumber came from Mt. Home. Lath & plaster was used over the rocks on the inside with wallpaper over that. The pipe that carried the water into the house, a distance of 1/2 mile from the spring, was from Duck Valley Indian Reservation. He had 4 more rooms built on after the turn of the century. Whichoney means "good water" in Shoshoni. By the time the last of the house was built, Wickahoney had become a post office and stage station. Maggie was postmistress. Mary, Ethel, Arthur & Horace all went to Vancouver, Washington, to a Catholic school for 2 years after they finished their schooling at Wichahoney. Maggie was Catholic & the nearest church was in Mt. Home, 65 miles away. It took 4 days to get there & back with a team & buggy. The Dunning boys took care of the ranch & livestock. They got up at 6 am, fed 50 horses, milked 3 cows, cleaned the barn, & feed 300 range cattle before school. Dow helped build the dam across the Bruneau River at the head of the Grand View Canal at the turn of the century & a few years later built the Dunning Canal on the south side of the Bruneau River. In 1908 he was elected to the first of 3 terms in the Idaho Legislature. Dow sold Wichoney in 1913 & moved to South Mt., then later to Homedale where he farmed.
