Weekly Corinthian, Corinth, MS (1899)
(NOTE: I AM NOT RELATED)
OWENS
     Mr. Frank Owens, while at work on a building being erected in the southern 
part of town, was fatally injured Monday afternoon by a scaffold falling, 
precipitating him to the ground.  He was on one knee, sawing a piece of timber, 
when the fastenings gave way and fell a distance of about thirty feet, causing 
injuries from which he died Tuesday, Feb. 28.  Another gentleman on the 
scaffold only saved himself by catching to a tressel.  Mr. Owens recently moved 
here with his family, a wife and two daughters, from Ripley, Tippah county, 
where he was well known, having at one time been a marshal of the town of 
Ripley.  The burial took place yesterday at the city cemetery.  The Herald 
extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.
     Funeral sevices were conducted at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon by Rev’s 
Brooks and Wesson.
