Fairfield Recorder - April 1, 1898  issue

Died - Mrs. Celia Owens died last Saturday evening, at the 27th inst. at the
residence of her son, Mr. D. W. Owens, a few miles east of Fairfield.

Deceased was 59 years old.  She was to this county from Alabama after the war,
her husband having been killed in the late war between the states.  Mrs.
Owens was a sister of Mr. W. L. Horn, for many years a citizen of this country,
now living in Indian Territory. She had been in failing health several years,
and her illness finally developed into dropsy from which she suffered several
months.  The end finally came and on last Sunday evening the aged mother fell
asleep to awake the resurrection morn.  She was a member of the Baptist Church
and her remains were laid to rest in the old Rehoboth neighborhood cemetery
near Young, Rev. E. J. Brown officiating. Besides other relatives to mourn her
loss, she leaves two sons, Messrs. T.F. and D.W. Owens.
