WILSON M. OWEN, who was born in Greene County, Ind., March 22, 1825, is one
of five children of Josiah and Polly (Phillips) Owen, who were among the
earliest pioneers to Greene County.  His education is meager, and was
gained amid the disadvantages of frontier life in log schoolhouses.
Lucinda Miller, a native of Shelby County, Ky., whence she came to Greene
County in 1842, became his wife February 22,1847, and to their union five
children have been born--Thomas J., Nancy E., David A., Benjamin T. and
Joseph A., all living.  Mr. Owen began life a poor boy, and by hard work
and honest dealing has acquired a farm of 129 acres, of which ninety
acres are under a good state of cultivation.  In politics, he says he was
born and raised a Democrat, and expects to die as one.  As a hard worker
and honest dealer, he maintains a high reputation among his neighbors.
Mrs. Owen is one of a family of fifteen children, of whom Thompson and Mary
(Ubank) Miller were the parents.  She is a member of the Baptist Church at
Concord.  Together, they are enjoying the evening of life surrounded by its
comforts, and sharing the good will and opinion of all around them.
