PRESS NOTES
VEDA E. OWENS DIES FOLLOWING BRIEF ILLINESS
Jersey Street Woman Died in Hospital of Peritonitis.
Mrs. Veda Elmira Owens, 40, wife of Charles W. Owens of Jersey Street, died this morning at 5 o'clock at the Daviess County Hospital where Thursday she submitted to a major operation.
Death of the woman was attributed to peritonitis, which had developed prior to the operation. She had been seriously ill since last Sunday, but had been in failing health for some time prior to that.
Doctors this morning explained that starting last Sunday Mrs. Owens suffered severe cramping, then experienced locked bowels. Thursday noon an operation was performed, and two of the intestines were found grown togethr. Further probing revealed that a piece of toothpick had been swallowed by Mrs. Owens at some time, and that it had worked through one of the intestines, causing a sore which reslted in the intestines growing together and causing the fatal illness. Peritonitis developed to cause ehr death early today.
Born in Stone County, Missouri, on September 1, 1895, the deceased was a daughter of Francis Marion Taylor and Jane Philbert Taylor. The father survives and lives at Monett, Missouri, but the mother preceded the daugter in death. Mrs. Owens was married to Charles W. Owens on December 25, 1910, and three children were born to the union, one dying in infancy and the other two being survivors. They are Mrs. Lorene Gines of Washington and Lucille Owens, at home.
Brothers and sisters surviving are Lafe and Otis Taylor, Mrs. Lavina Martin of Waco, Texas, Mrs. Velie Stewart of Jenkins, Missouri, and Mrs. Dollie Dummitt of Monett, Missouri.
Mrs. Owens was a member of the Free Methodist Church and of the Security Benefit Association of this city.
Funeral arrangements are not complete. James A. Gill and Sons will have charge.
IN MEMBORY OF MRS. CHARLES OWENS
There's a seat empty in our church today
For some one who has gone away,
She has gone to be with Jesus
In the land of perfect day.
"Tis our dear Sister Owens who we all loved so well
She has said good night to us here,
To go to a better world than this
"Tis where they know no fear.
She has gone from this world of sorry
Gone from this world of pain
She will never have sickness or sorrow
Or heartaches ever again.
I'm sure she's happy in Heaven
Where Jesus, the Lamb is the Light,
Where never cometh the darkness
For everything's lovely and bright.
She is feasting with Jesus in heaven
Resting beneath the green tree
She is looking toward the Pearly Gates
Wathing for you and for me.
Although our hearts were saddened
When we said good night to her here
Our hearts will also be gladdened
When we say good morning up there.
This poem was written by Nellie Burrous in memory of my mother at her death. Lorene Gines

MEMORIAL (a newspaper clipping - no date or name of paper)
In loving remembrance of our mother, Mrs. F. M. Taylor, who died one year ago, July 29, 1928.
Earth has lost its look of gladness,
Heaven seems to be more bright,
Since the spirit of our mother
Took its heavenly flight.
In life we loved her dearly
And in death we do the same.
Dear mother, I often sit and think
Of you and wish you were here again.
I think of you dear mother in silence--
No eye can see me weep
But many a silent tear I shed
While others are asleep.
Dear mother, could you speek to us
And live with us again
Our aching hearts then would be eased
But this we wish in vain.
You are gone, Mother, but not forgotten
Never will they memory fade,
Sweetest thought shall ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid.
Just the crossing of the river,
Just a stepping on the shore;
Then the joys of life eternal
All were yours.
For the Master whom we follow
In his word has plainly said,
That you're only sweetly sleeping
Though you're numbered with the dead.
The stars are dimly shining
Upon your new-made grave,
Where you sleep without waking
You were loved but could ot save.
Sweet adn peaceful be your slumber
Forget you I can never
But God called you home,
He knows best, His will be done forever.
