        Obituary

        WOMAN, 103, DIES AT RELIEF HOME
        Times-Gazette
        Redwood City, San Mateo County
        Saturday August 29, 1925
        There was buried from the Layng & Tinney mortuary parlors on Broadway on Saturday last the remains of Sarah Dowland, who died the day before at the Community hospital, following a long illness. The remains were laid away in Union cemetery. She did not know the exact date of her birth, but from records gathered by friends it is show that she was one hundred and three years old. The aged lady saw the light of day in Ireland, but at an early age came to New York and from the gleanings of her early career, it is learned that she became prominent in the Bowery, in the early forties, when that part of New York was the respectable part of the city. In 1848 she became wealthy and hobnobbed with the wealthy and was looked upon as the social leader of her set. Mrs. Dowland becoming reduced in circumstances, looked to the Golden West to recoup her lost fortune and came to San Francisco many years ago. California did not prove to be the land of her youthful dreams, although it did prove such for some of her relatives.
        Her brother, the late Michael Skelly, in the early days owned the North Beach and Mission railroads. Many of the old timers in San Mateo county will remember the latter for it ran down Fourth to Third and Townsend. The old horse cars would take passengers up Fourth to Market and to Kearney street and from that street connect with the North Beach line that traversed the north end of San Francisco. The old horse cars did a big business and Skelly soon became a millionaire. Mrs. Skelly died a few years ago leaving an estate of $5,000,000, consisting of valuable San Francisco realty. Mrs. Dowland drifted from her family, severing all ties and finally landed in San Mateo many years ago, leading a quiet and uneventful life with her friend, the late Mrs. Perkins. After the latter's death and when she was old and decrepit, Mrs. Dowland became an inmate of the county relief home, where she lived in apparent contentment and happiness until she was taken sick some time ago and was removed to the Community hospital, where she passed away to the other shore after a long and eventful life. Mrs. Dowland was taciturn and would not speak of her early career of life generally although her friends tried to secure her history for a narrative, but she was modest, retiring and did not want such prominence that such an article would bring. Mrs. Dowland was a kindly pleasant old woman who strove always to please others and make others happy and contented. She had met revenues and perhaps lost but this did not affect her kindly nature nor change her happy smile which greeted all. In poverty and wealth she was the same. May she find an abiding place with the angels.
