This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 34: A&M cadets from out-of-town lived in Auburn homes such as this one called "Dovedale," shown in a picture dated January 20, 1888. Standing at left is the home's owner, William Crawford Dowdell, who served in the Alabama Home Guard during the Civil War and later as mayor and postmaster of Auburn. His home reportedly was located "in a large grove of giant oaks" northeast of the intersection of Opelika Highway and Ross Street (until destroyed by the tornado of 1853). At William Dowdell's left are his wife, Elizabeth Caroline Thomas Dowdell; Miss Sanders; and his granddaughter, Caroline "Carrie" Merrick. Other AU Libraries' identifications: Seated, left to right, are cadet Abernathy (sitting on porch pedestal), Hurt (in dark suit), cadet Raphael Semmes Kell (seated two steps below Hurt), cadet Prout (on top step), cadet Brooks, Chandler (in suit), cadet McMillan (seated one step below) and cadet Hendley Varner Kell (with foot on knee). Hendley later married Dowdell's daughter Caroline "Caro" Dowdell. The African-American boy in front is not identified. Photo source: Auburn University Archives. |
