General Notes: Husband - Thomas Owens


He spent his entire life in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and throughout manhood followed the occupations of lumbering and farming. After his marriage he located in Ferguson township, where he developed a farm from the wilderness and passed forty years of his life, and where his death occurred. Politically he was first a Whig, later a Know-Nothing, and on its organization joined the Republican party, which he ever afterward supported. He and his estimable wife were faithful members of the United Brethren Church.

He was reared to agricultural pursuits. In connection with farming he engaged in lumbering throughout life. Purchasing a tract of raw land, he transformed it into a valuable farm, and converted the timber into lumber. His son, Henry, later resided on this place. He also owned other tracts which he cleared, and placed one hundred acres under a high state of cultivation, erecting thereon good and substantial buildings. He held membership in the United Brethren Church, and in politics he was identified with the Democratic party. He was called upon to fill many township offices, but would never accept anything higher.
