Obituary..

Edward William Owens was
born in Missouri Valley, Iowa,
Oct. il, 1887, and departed
from this life at his home just
north of town, Sept. Is, 1904.
His age was 16 years, 10
months and z days.
Eddie was the second sur
viving child and the elder son
of j. w. and Irene Ovens. He
leaves a sorrowing father and
mother, four sisters and a
brother to mourn his early loss.
Eddie, for such we always
called him, was reared in our
midst. His friends were only
numbered by his acquaintances.
His bright, hopeful face and
his manly bearing will be sadly
missed by his friends. To know
him was to love him. His life
was one Of sunshine. He had
a smile and a pleasant word for
every one. At home he was a
support and a comfort, at school
a model pupil, and in the church
he will be greatly missed. He
has been first librarian of the
M. %. Sunday school for two
years and did his work we'll.
Eddie was an ambitious boy.
His ambition was to be a useful
man. He had finished the work
in our public schools to the 18th
grade, and had planned to re-
main out this year, in order to
earn means to enable him to
take a course in the Normal
school at Woodbine next year.
But imam proposes and God
disposes" and we can only say
through our tears, "The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh
away, blessed be the name of
the Lord"
