Owens was born march 2, 1871, and died in Tyler, Texas, December 16, 1895; was married to Miss Allie McCulloch June 14, 18901, who is now left to mourn her loss and to grapple with a sin-stricken world, in the raising and training of one sweet little boy. But death, the king of terrors and the terror to kings, takes under his icy wings all classes and conditions of our race, whether we are prepared for it or not. Bro. George had been a member of the Methodist Church from his boyhood up to a few months before his death, when he withdrew, but after this he was frequently seen at church and expressed himself to the writer as trying to live for a better world, and said upon his dying bed that he was not afraid to die. He was sick only a short while, but bore his sickness with patience until the end came. He leaves behind him a grief-stricken companion and little child and friends and relatives who miss him. T. T.
