The background of the decorations
consisted of white domestic, over

She was met at the foot of the chancel

MRS. JACOB OWEN.

Last Sunday morning, at 2 O'Clock
Mrs. Jacob Owen passed away at her
home OH Buckmeadow plantation, al
the ripe old age OF seventy-four. She
had been an almost constant sufferer
for years, and only short time since
returned from Louisville, KY, where
she had gone for treatment. She
found, however, that her old-time ply.
stefan, DR.. +. r. Bernard, could give
her greater relief for her sufferinQs.
and she accordingly returned home.
Her death was due to bronchitis,
although her extreme age had long
since manifested itself in q general
wearing away of her constitution
She was q fine old lady, grand char.
acter, loving mother, patient under
her sufferings all through the long and
lengthening years that towards the
last passed more slowly AWAY, cheerful
amidst il all, and q source of comfort,
oven in disease, to those around her
She possessed . face that bore eviden-
ces of beauty In the golden days of
yore, aud pleasing address that the
writer cannot forget, though impaired
and weakened by the ordeal 6f years.
Mrs. Owen was native of Ken

her husband, the late jacob Owen.
Mr. and Mrs. Owen came to this coun.
try before the war, When Bunch's
