QUINCY, Ill.,, Mar. 12.-With no
company to cheer the dreary hours
or night. year after year, David r.
Owens waited for something to hap
pen about the incandescent light
factory at 314l Locust street, where
he was employed.
Owens reached the age OF 70. and
spending his nights in solitude no
longer appealed to him. So
Wednesday morning he put his feet
on a desk, tipped back his chair,
placed his revolver behind his right
ear and shot himself.
1t was the first use he had for
the revolver he had carried on his
rounds for years.
1t was the first time there had
been anything doing about the place
at night during the years he had
been on the job. He didn't see the
excitement himself, for he was
found dead Wednesday morning at
o'clock.
Owens lived at 1852 Lanham ave

Ferris was found in his cell by a

tied it to the bedpost. Ferris and
Woods were both night watchmen

This was followed by a masterful
rendition of a wedding march,

slowly wendell their way to the
altar through the aisle of the
crowded church, whore the cere-
mony was performed by Rev. John
Adrian Of Arcadia, assisted by the

Mr.. Geo. Begley, of Poplar Bluff,
and Mrs. Theresa Norman, of
limo, survive. Not long after his
marriage the family removed to
Ir%onton, where he engaged in
brick manufacturing and also the
livery business. For a number of
years he was road overseer of this
district. That he was faithful and
efficient in the discharge of his
duties as such, needs no saying.
That which he put his hand TO he
did with all his might.
Mr., Begley's character was of
rugged honesty, untiring industry,
and faithful friendship. | know
how usual it is to "write good of
the dead;" but in this instance the
writer's inner consciousness goes
with his pen. | knew the deceased
for fifty years-the greater part of
the time intimately-and never
found him lacking in the qualities
that make a good man and a good
citizen. His children grown to
man and womanhood reflect the
integrity and virtues of the. par
ents. The son is prominent in
business in Poplar Bluff and his
word is his bond. The daughter,
happily married, faithfully dis
charges the duties of wifehood and
motherhood. They are of those
who adorn society and make the
state.
The funeral was held Sunday,
Rev. Aspley officiating at the resi-
dence, after which the body was
taken in charge by the members
of Star of the West Lodge, No. 1873,
A. F. & A. M, with whom the de-
ceased had affiliated for nearly fifty
years. A great number of neigh
bors and friends accompanied the
cortege to the Masonic Cemetery,
where, after the usual ceremonies,
the remains were laid to final rest.
Thus passes the world to all.
To-day turns fits back to yester-
day and looks forward to the ever
alluring tomorrow; but the good
that men do follows on and on
through all the days forever.
So we bid a last farewell to our
old friend and pray that he rest in
peace.
