OWEN Pascal H. Owen, of Montgomery, Alabama, was born in Lowndes county, that State, October 03, 1839. He is the son of Col. Lewis Owen, for many years president of the Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad Railroad Company. He was educated at New Haven, Conn., and at Union College, Schenectady, New York. His medical education and training were received at the University of New York, from which institution he was graduated M. D. in 1859, on which occasion he delivered the valedictory address. He soon after established himself at Montgomery, and has ever since been actively engaged in the practice of general medicine and surgery in that vicinity. During the Rebellion he assisted in organizing the General Military Hospital at Montgomery, and became surgeon in charge after the resignation of Surgeon Gindrat, in 1862. In 1869 he was elected a member of the American Medical Association; he is also an active member of the Alabama State Medical Association, and of the Montgomery Medical and Surgical Society. He is the author of "Reports of Mott's Surgical Clintique," "Essay on Cannabis Indica," and a "Monograph on Diphtheria." In 1876 he was elected Judge of the Court of Appeals, and in the same year State Senator. In the latter position he was instrumental in getting an act passed in the Legislature of Alabama to regulate the practice of medicine in that State, which protects regular practitioners and severly punishes "Quackery."
