Owen, B. J., Frankfort, one of three children of Hugh and Winnie (Charles) Owen
of Frankfort, was born in Newport October 16, 1868. Hugh, the father, was born 
in Wales. He came to this country in early life and settled in Frankfort about 
1874. He was a butcher and shipper of cattle for several years, when he bought 
the fine farm where his family now lives and developed it into a fine dairy 
farm. He died July 27, 1892, and his son, B. J. Owen is developing the 
enterprise. They have a herd of from eighty to one hundred cows and are 
engaged in butter-making and supplying several milk routes. Mr. Owen employs 
seven men the year round. The buildings are extensive and supplied with modern 
improvements, among which are ten silos which have an average capacity of 100 
tons each, and steam power for handling the contents.
