Dr. M. M. Dowler died in
1870 or 1871. His widow
in the administration of his
estate found it necessary
to give a bond for a
son who was not of age
or incapacitated in some
way from acting at the
family meeting called for
the purpose of
settling the estate. The
bond was a matter of
form required by the law
in the case, and Mrs.
Dowler asked me to
go on the bond which
she said would not invoke
any liability and I did
not at the time see that
there was any possible
liability connected with
the bond.
