LaCamas Post June 13,1908
Margaret C.cowna,was born in bellevue,Missouri,seventy two years ago,died June 
11,1908.She was married to Richard Cowan in February 1857.They came to LaCamas 
in August 1884,and have resided here since. her husband died July 26,1898.She 
leaves three daughters,Clara of LaCamas;Mrs.J.H.Ginder of White 
Salmon;Mrs.J.T.Vandemar of White Salmon;andone son,J.A.Cowan of this place.
She joined the Baptist church when a girl,and later united with the Cumberland 
Presbyterian church,remaining an active member until her death.During the 
Civil War she endured many hardships,her husband being a Colonel in the 
Confederate Army,she was subjected to much cruel treatment by gorilla bands 
whose sole purpose was to rob,and who cared not for the great question 
involved.But her courage and fortitude carried her through until her husband 
was restored to her.
While mentioning the dead it is not amiss to also speak for the living,and 
this notice would be incomplete were it not to mention the care that Mrs.Cowan 
received during the declining years fo her life.But few people receive the 
grateful treatment from their children which they deserve.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.Carrick at the Presbyterian church Saturday 
afternoon,burial was in the Camas cemetery.
