DOWDEN, Caroline Hooten, Jacksonville (Oregon) Post, 21 Sep 1907, p. 7  
Mrs. Carolyn Dowden, widow of the late Joseph Dowden, and one of the best
known pioneer ladies of Southern Oregon, died at her home near Gold Hill
last Sunday morning at the age of 82 years, says the News. Mrs. Dowden was
born in Kentucky in 1825, and came to Linn county, Oregon, in 1867. In 1869
she moved with her husband, the late Joseph Dowden, to Jackson county, and
located on the homestead, which has become so familiar as the "old Dowden
place," and which was her home until the time of her death. Three children
survive her, Mrs. George Lyman, Mrs. H. T. Pankey and Andy Hooten, all of
Gold Hill. 

Note: Previous married name of Hooten obtained from cemetery headstone.
