Postville Review, 4 May 1895.

Word has been received here to the effect that Mrs. Obb Smith, nee Jennie Owen, a daughter of Orville Owen, was accidently shot at her home down in Mississippi recently, from the effect of which she died. She, with her parents, formerly resided just west of Postville. She married a relative of the Hart's. A loaded gun set in the corner was knocked down and discharged, the contents entering her hip, which had to be amputated, and she did not rally from the shock.
