Mrs. George Owen Passes Suddenly
Ord Woman, Greatly Loved, dies Early Thursday Morning After Brief Illness.
Mrs. George Owen, affectionately known to a host of friends as “Mollie” Owen, passed away at her home in Ord early last Thursday morning, May 23, after a brief illness. She was 71 years old but had enjoyed excellent health until recent weeks.
Born in Iowa in 1864, Mollie Saville moved to Nebraska with her parents as a girl and on Dec. 23, 1891 was married to Lewis Taylor. Two children were born to them, Bert Taylor, who now lives in California, and Lydia, now Mrs. Charles Hather of Ord. Five years after their marriage Mr. Taylor passed away, leaving his little family in desperate circumstances. For many years his widow struggled to keep her children in comfort and endured many hardships in doing so. She lived only for her children until they were old enough to have homes of their own.
On Aug. 16, 1914 Mrs. Taylor was married to George Owen, of Ord, and their life together was very congenial. Mrs. Owen is greatly mourned by her husband, her children, by two sisters, Mrs. Nina Norman, Ord, and Mrs. Anna Carlisle [sic], Ia., and by a host of friends.
With Mr. Owen, she united with the Methodist church many years ago. She was also an active member of the Royal Neighbors lodge.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Sowl chapel with Rev. Willard McCarthy conducting. Members of the Royal Neighbors lodge attended in a group. A quartet composed of Mrs. Bert Hardenbrook, Mrs. E.O. Carlson, Ed Mouer and E. H. Petty sang, with organ accompaniment by Mrs. Kirby McGrew. Pallbearers were Geo. S. round Harvey Parks, Chas. Burdick, Walter Noll, Gould B. Flagg, David C. Haught and Walter Desch. Burial was in Ord Cemetery.
Out of town relatives and friends here for the funeral included a niece, Lenna McKay of St. Edwards, a nephew, Gus Saville, of Fullerton, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wright and Mr. and Mrs. Earl English, of Omaha.
