An other good man
has gone to rest. URIAH BERRY OWEN,
was born in Walton Co. Ga. July 31 1816 and died in Marion Co., Alabama
Aug. 2nd, 1889. About 1845 he was married to Miss ISABELLA
CATHERINE JONES of Carol Co. Ga. At the time of his marriage, he
lived in Herd Co. Ga. where he remained for thirteen years. In
both Herd and Carol counties he and his estimable wife have many
friends who will lament his death. He moved from Herd Co. Ga. to
Marion County, Alabama where he spent the remainder of his useful life.
Brother OWEN was a
man of remarkable moral courage. He joined the Temperance Reform
at St. Cloud, Ga. when it was in its infancy, and was never afterwards
know to taste ardent spirits. He provided well for his household,
being one of the most successful farmers in our country.
About 1867 he
joined the M. E. church South, of which his good wife had long been a
member. He lived a consistent Christian. As a husband and
father, his character was in the highest degree exemplary. As a
citizen and neighbor, he was without reproach.
Every call of
clarity met with a prompt response from him. Sadly will he be
missed. The poor, the widow, and the orphan have lost one of their best
friends.
The writer has
known him more than thirty years, and never knew a more hospitable man.
His physicians said
that the had no disease. The machinery of life run down –the
wheels stood still.
He was conscious of
his approaching death and spoke freely of it, giving explicit direction
in regard to the management of his business. He said that he had
but one regret – leaving his true and faithful wife. He left
three sons and three daughters, all of whom have families.
May the grace of
God sustain and soothe the bereaved wife and children through their
bitter trial, and bring them all at last to meet him on the bright
frontiers of glory!
