her home here Thursday morning
at 2 O'CLOCK after a lingering Ill
ness of sixteen months. No one
was ever more patient in their SUI
fering, more cheerful during an
affection than was Mrs Ovens.
Her health Jailed her during the
fall of 1913 while nursing her,
father and mother, and was forced
to leave their bedside and return
home, where she had been conhn-
ed most of the time until death re-
lieved her OF her sufferings She
was born in Pendleton county,
J Kentucky in the year 1867, being
past AZ years old. Her father,
John T. Cherry, died March 8,
1918, and her mother, Mrs. Sarah
Cherry, died Oct. 3, 1913. She
married Granville Owens, present
Postmaster here, several years
ago, and to this union were born
three children, Mrs. Virgil Mar
tin, Byron Owens, a teacher in our
graded school and little Delmas, a
boy of some 10 years of age, all of
who m were present when the
death Angel called their mother
to that realm beyond the skies.
Beside the heart broken husband
and children she is survived by
one brother, j. Thos. Cherry, a
prominent merchant of Grab Or
chard, and a sister, Miss Eeva
Cherry, of this place. Funeral
