NUMBER 1S
MRS. OWEN DIES IN NASHVILLE.

Mrs. Julia Reed Owen, beloved wife
of our countryman, Esq. R. f. Owen,
died Saturday, the 18th inst, in
Nashville hospital where she had
been carried ten days before, for pos
sible relief from abcess of the lungs,
from which she had suffered for
many months. Her condition was such
that contemplated operation could
not be performed. The remains were
brought back home on the early Sun
day morning train and inferred at
Rock Hill on Sunday afternoon, Rev.
Fleetwood Ball officiating in the last
earthly tribute of love and respect
that could be paid to a woman. who, IN
life, had commanded the love and res
pect of all who knew her.
She was daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Calvin Reed, of this place, and was
born Dec. 26th, 1875. Her marriage
to Esq. Owen occurred Sept. 16, 1890
and to the union two children We're
born, both of whom survive-H. A.
Owen and Mrs. D. f. (PearD Helms.
She was practical Christian in
her daily life and her church affilia-
tion with the Christian denomination.
1t was not our good fortune to know
Mrs. Owen, but from those who knew
her most intimately we learn that she
was an ideal home-making, home-
keeping woman, one faithful to every
obligation and one whose heart was
filled with love for those whose ties to
her called for affection.
The surviving husband. father and
other relatives have the deepest SYM
pathy Of all who realize that the be-
reft ones have lost a friend who can
have no successor in life.
