MRS. HANNAH M. OWENS.

  Mrs. Hannah Mary Owens, for many years well known in Tyrone and more 
recently of Juniata, died at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning in the borough 
home of a daughter, Mrs. J. E. Piper, of 110 Tenth avenue.  Mrs. Owens was 80 
years of age on April 13 and was the widow of the late David G. Owens, of 
Tyrone.  Mrs. Owens was born at Warriorsmark and during her married life was 
highly esteemed as a resident of Tyrone.  She was from childhood a consistent 
Christian and during the last thirty-five years was a member of the First 
Methodist Episcopal church of Tyrone.  Since the death of her husband 
thirteen years ago, the beloved mother found a pleasant home with the 
daughter, Mrs. J. E. Piper, in Juniata.  Other children surviving are Mrs. 
John M. Hamer, of Tyrone, and W. P. Owens, of Philadelphia.  The deceased 
lady is also survived by one sister and two brothers - Mrs. Jackson 
Armstrong, of Altoona; W. P. Irvin, of Duncansville, and R. C. Irvin, of 
Hollidaysburg.
  Service over the remains will be held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Piper on 
Monday morning at 10 o'clock and will be conducted by the Rev. Alexander 
Lamberson, of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Juniata.  At 11 o'clock 
on Monday morning the funeral cortege will leave for Tyrone in a special car 
over the Logan Valley line.  The remains will be laid to rest in the Tyrone 
Grandview cemetery, after a funeral service in which the Rev. Mr. Lamberson 
and the Rev. A. S. Fasick, of Tyrone, will officiate.
