DAVID R. COWAN.

Sunday morning David R. Cowan, one of the most respected citizens of the county,
died at his home, west of Lebanon, after an illness of some weeks, which was
more the result of his advanced age than anything else. He was born in this
township on the sixteenth day of January, 1829, being, therefore, in his
fifty-ninth year. His parents were Charles and Jane (McPherson) Cowan. His
grandfather moved to Turtlecreek township in 1800 and the family have always
lived near where he settled. Mr. Cowan, born on a farm, grew to manhood as a
farmer. He was a quiet man and sought and held no offices. He was universally
known as an upright, honest citizen and his death is mourned by a wide circle of
friends. In 1856 he married Amy A. Thompson, who survives him, together with a
son and daughter. The funeral services were held at the residence on Tuesday
morning. Rev. Dr. J. P. Scott officiating.

DAVID R. COWAN

A prominent and wealthy farmer of Lebanon, died at his home on Sunday last,
after a short but painful illness, in the 59th year of his age. His parents were
Charles Cowan, a native of Virginia, and Jane W. (McPherson) Cowan, of Kentucky.
His grand-father, James Cowan, was a native of Berkley county, Va., who
emigrated to Ohio in 1800, and settled on the east half of section 17, two miles
west of Lebanon, were he died in 1815. On this farm David R. Cowan was born, and
has steadily lived from cradle to grave. He has been very successful in the
management of his farm, and leaves behind him an abundance of worldly goods and
a large number of friends. He was married in 1856 to Miss May A., daughter of
John H. Thompson of this county. In politics he was a Republican, and stood high
among men of all creeds and all parties. His funeral took place from the family
residence on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. J. P. Scott, of the
Presbyterian church, officiating, a large number of people from Lebanon and the
country side being present to pay tribute to their well loved friend and neighbor.
