Eloisa Owens (89037153) Obituary
Traer Star Clipper, Friday, April 12th, 1946 – page 1
Mrs. Henry Owens, 89, pioneer of Buckingham township, died in Ellsworth Memorial hospital in Iowa Falls, Thursday evening, April 4, 1946 where she had been confined five weeks with a hip fracture. Funeral services were held at 1:30 p. m. Sunday at the Wood Funeral Chapel in Iowa Falls, and at 3:30 p. m. at the States Funeral Home in Traer. Services here as well as at Iowa Falls were conducted by the woman pastor of the Church of Christ, of Iowa Falls, owing to the illness of the pastor of the Congregational church of that city, of which the decedent was a member. At the service in Traer the Congregational male quartet—R. G. Stoakes, John Ames, H. J. Whannel and Judge B. F. Thomas—sang hymns, and Ruth Thomas was at the piano. J. H Hartshorn, W. Walter Wilson and the members of the quartet served as casket bearers. Burial was in Buckingham cemetery. More than forty relatives from a distance, including members of the decedents' family, came with the body to Traer, and were served luncheon at the O. O. Owens home following the service at the Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Owens and Mrs. Laura Leslie, of Traer, and James R. Owens, of Tama, attended the services at Iowa Falls.
Mrs. Owens, who was Eloisa Jaqua before marriage, the eldest daughter of Gamaliel and Christina Jaqua, was born at Lewisburg, Ohio on April 4, 1856, and was only a year old when she came to north Tama county with the parents to the Jaqua homestead in Buckingham township, which is the farm now owned and operated by the L. J. Sealock family. G. Jaqua was a leading citizen of Tama county many years and represented the county in the lower house of the Iowa general assembly. He was at one time a partner of E. E. Taylor Sr., in the Star Clipper, and a pioneer editor of farm news in a country newspaper. As a girl Mrs. Owens attended the Old Buckingham school, then was a teacher in a rural school until her marriage. Eloisa Jaqua married Henry Owens March 29, 1876. The couple farmed 3 miles north of Traer 46 years, until the fall of 1922, when they retired in Iowa Falls. Mr. Owens died there March 21, 1923. She then made her home with her children. The last 8 years were spent with Mrs. Lucretia Mitchell, near Iowa Falls.
Mr. and Mrs. Owens were the parents of eleven children, ten of whom were reared to maturity. One daughter, Estella, and two sons, Clinton and Dave, preceded her. The surviving children are two daughters, Mrs. Frank Mitchell, Iowa Falls, and Mrs. W. I. Sayre, of Northwood, Iowa; and six sons, Gamaliel, of Sumner, Washington, Allen A., Waterloo, Iowa; Nathaniel and Robert, both of Iowa Falls; Philip H., of Thayer, Missouri, and George, a patient at the Veterans hospital a t Des Moines, all of whom were born and reared in the Traer community. There are fourteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Four of her sons were in armed service during the first World war, and four grandsons during the late war. A brother, Frank Jaqua, editor and publisher of the newspapers at Humboldt and one at Clarion, is the only surviving member of the G. Jaqua family of three daughters and four sons. When Mrs. Owens left the Traer community in 1922, she had lived 65 years in Buckingham township.
Three of her sons, Gamaliel, George and Philip, were unable to attend the services. Three sons and the two daughters attended services both at Iowa Falls and here. Mrs. Owens took keen interest in public affairs. She was a lover of music and the arts, kept abreast of developments in agriculture and horticulture, and was an interesting narrator of pioneer life. Despite failing sight, she spent time reading up to the day of her accident last February 27. She was a member of the D. A. R. of Northwood, Iowa and a charter member of the American Legion Auxiliary, of Traer.
