General Notes: Husband - E. E. Owens


He was fourteen years of age when his father died, and he continued with his mother until she, too, was called to her final rest, when the family became scattered. At the early age of fourteen years he was thrown upon his own resources for a livelihood. His early education had been obtained in the country school, and with his first earnings he paid his own expenses while pursuing his studies for two years in the Armstrong Academy. For six years he engaged in teaching through the winter season, while the summer months were spent in farming, and in this way he secured a start in life. Purchasing a tract of timber land, he engaged in lumbering until 1884, when he bought a farm-a tract of 150 acres, all underlaid with coal. He cleared and placed 100 acres under a high state of cultivation, erected a commodious two-story frame residence, large barn and other out-buildings, and had a large orchard. He made a specialty of fruit growing, having on his place choice apples, peaches, berries, etc. Besides his homestead he owned another improved farm in Ferguson township.
He and his wife were both consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Most of his life he was a Republican in politics, but later he was an earnest advocate of Prohibition principles.
