Mrs. Sarah OWENS was born in Mass. in 1822. After an illness of over a year she died August 29th, 1887, at the age of 65 years, 4 months and 27 days. Mrs. OWEN was one of the old settlers in Allamakee county, having lived in it since 1849. She was a woman known only to be loved. She leaves a husband, two children and a host of friends to mourn her loss. She was for many years and up to the time of her death a faithful member of the United Brethren church. On Wednesday, the 31st of August, appropriate services were held in the Bethel church and a very large procession attended her remains to their last resting place in the Minert cemetery.
