William Lewis Owen suffered from Muscular Dystrophy. He only walked a short time in his early years. In spite of his illness he was a cheerful child and loved dearly by his family. William Lewis Owen was buried next to his father George Ellis Owen. The family could not afford a grave marker at the time so the site remains unmarked to this day.

Lovingly known as "Skeeter". His entire family doted on him. He died at age 12 from Acute Diletation of the Heart. (Indiana, Tippecanoe Co. Death Certificate #3286)
