Dave:
I think you're right.
Here's David Horace Dowe's stepfather. He mentions "a daughter, Marilyn" and "stepson David" but Horace Leon Dowe claims a Marilyn and David as children. More confusion.
============================
MICHNIAK, Charles Norman - 82 years, Queen Street, Springhill, passed away on Thursday, May 8, 2008, in Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, Nappan. Born in Springhill, he was a son of the late Theodore and Margaret Rebecca (Merry) Michniak. His working years were spent as a supervisor with Akzo Salt Mine in Michigan.

I believe Mary Collins and David H Dowe split up some time as she's not mentioned in Dowe obits, only in her father's.

Subject: Re: [nscumber] Obit (1992 & 1996) - John W. COLLINS - father & son
I believe the daughter, Mary Collins (Mrs. David Dowe) mentioned in John
William Collins, Jr.¹s obit to be David Horace Dowe, born Amherst, s/o
Horace Leon Dowe and Joyce Beverly (Ogles) Dowe Michniak.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.
Dave
