"Billy" McDowell was a thresher in Iowa. He moved his family to
Richmond, California during second World War and worked as a night
watchman in the docks. I heard from either my mother or grandmother that
he'd been assaulted one night while on duty. His death certificate (Los
Angeles county, CA) lists his occupation as "road contractor".
