    12 Aug 2006.

    Excerpt of article: "The son of a railway freight agent, Mike Douglas was born Michael Delaney Dowd Jr. on Aug. 11, 1925, in Chicago."

  9. In 1917 Michael claims to be 'single' on his World War I Draft Registration card, listing 'support mother' as his reason for exemption. There is a birth certificate for 'Robert Frederick Dowd' born 27 Sep 1915 in Chicago, Cook county, Illinois with Michael Delany Dowd as father and Gertrude Elizabeth Smith as mother, which would indicate their familial relationship prior to 1917. An official marriage record for Michael and Gertrude has not been found in Cook County, Illinois prior to nor after 1917. There is the possibility that this couple was never officially married or that they were married outside of the Chicago area.
