Headline:  Mrs. Owens is Dead After Illness of Long Duration

Mrs. Mary Owens, of Chester, La., passed away last Sunday night, January 15, 
after a long and serious illness.  She was born June 29, 1852.  She was 
married the first time to Mr. B. G. Gilliam and to this union two girls and 
one boy were born.  Her second marriage was to Mr. Joe Owens about 44 years 
ago and to this union two girls and two boys were born.  Both husbands and 
one child preceded her to the other world.

At the age of 35, she joined the M. E. Church, but in later years she 
transferred her membership to the M. P. Church to which she remained a 
faithful member the remainder of her life.  Interment was made in the Spring 
Hill Cemetery, leaving six children, twenty-nine grandchildren and seven 
great-grandchildren to mourn her death.  The children are:  Bob and Charley 
Owens and Oscar Gilliam, all of Jena; Mrs. Josie White of Zenoria; Mrs. Ida 
Willis, of Chester, and Mrs. Clara Schrader, of Urania.
