Although he had been in declining health for some time, his death came suddenly. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs Morris Owens and had been born in North Poultney, Vermont, 62 years ago. He married Miss Margaret Hughes of Granville, NY, and one child was born to them who died in infancy. Most of his life was spent in Granville, NY, and vicinity. For several years Mr. and Mrs. Owens resided at Lake Saint Catherine during the summer season where they were well known as caterers to the public and particularly to the Lake residents.

For some time he was the well known and genial manager of the Granville Inn and for many years previous had been in the M.J. Hayes Market. Few men were as well liked than was Will Owen who always had a kind word for everyone. The winter of 1928/29 he spent in Florida hoping to regain his health which was becoming impaired.
