Abner Owen Dies of Broken Heart: Macon Man Soon Follows His Daughter to the Grave
Thirty hours after he attended the funeral of his daughter, Mrs. Ellen G. Douglass, who died Monday afternoon, Abner J. Owen, 618 Elm street, was himself a corpse, his death occurring Wednesday evening. He died in the room adjoining the one in which his daughter breathed her last.
While Mr. Owen had been in poor health for some time, his condition was not considered serious. His grief over the death of his daughter was uncontrollable, and when he returned from her funeral he gradually grew worse up to the hour of his death. His friends say that his death was due to a "broken heart." The body was laid to rest today beside the new-made grave of his daughter.
Besides his widow he leaves two sons, Charles T. Owen, of Griffin; and W. P. Owen, of Macon: and four daughters, Mrs. T. J. Pethan, of Americus: Mrs. O. E. Davidson and the Misses May and Ruth Owen of Macon.
