ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN PASSES AWAY --------Was Born in  1858,  In  Fleming
County, Kentucky, and Was A Fine Citizen.


Another summons has taken from our county, a good man and  citizen  that
enjoyed the good will and friendship of all acquaintances. He had obeyed
divine injunction and he bid this world adieu, with the firm hope  of  a
home in that “land of pure delight.”

George H. Owings was born Oct. 1, 1858, in Fleming county, Kentucky, and
came to Barry County thirty odd years ago, where he has lived a peaceful
and quiet life. He died Sept. 8, 1923, at 7 p.m. at his  home  southwest
of this city, 3 1/4 miles of cancer. He  was  converted  at  age  of  32
years, at a meeting held by late E.W. McCracken and Rev. Harvey  Weston,
in August, 1891 and united with Presbyterian Church. His wife and  there
children survive him, who are: Vance Owings of near Exeter,  Mrs.  Mable
Baker and Mrs. Leonard McCandlesa of near Cassville, as  well  as  three
grandchildren. Also one sister and  brother  both  of  Indiana.  He  was
married August, 31, 1884, to Mess Emma B. Hays, and their lives had been
of love and satisfaction.

He was an unassuming man, quiet and with a manifest good feeling for all
his friends and neighbors.

NOTE: Vol. I, pg. 56. of Barry County Cemeteries shows burial  place  as
Corinth Cemetery aka Huff Cemetery. The  cemetery  book  shows  year  of
birth as 1859, not 1858; shows year of death 1924, not 1923. Wife, Emma,
is also buried there.
