The Oskaloosa Independent , Jefferson County, Saturday, February 14, 1874
Died, recently, at the residence of his son, Wm. OWENS, in Oregon, Col. Henry
OWENS, formerly of this place, but for some time past residing at Silver Lake,
Shawnee, Co., this state.
Col. Owens and lady went to Oregon last Fall, to visit their son and daughter
and other friends. He was enjoying good health up to the time he was taken sick.
He lived only eight hours from the time he was first taken with a chill. Was
buried with Masonic honors.
Col. Owens came to this State from Iowa in 1855. He espoused the Free State
cause, and worked manfully for the cause nearest his heart. He was a member of
the first Free State Territorial Legislature. Thus, one by one, the early
pioneers are passing away. Mc.
