It was in the Atlanta Constitution dated Sept 7, 1893. It states he died the previous day. I looked for an actual obituary but there was nothing in the Constitution; they reported more on a national & statewide level it appears. I will probably have more luck with the Atlanta Journal and those are in a library in Decatur, GA. I forgot the one I went to today only had the Constitution. Will do that soon.

My grandmother was an Owings (Nellie May Owings). The Archibald Young Owings you are referencing would have been her uncle....her father's brother. Her father was John Richard Owings. I am close to a couple of libraries that have both the Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Constitution archives. I will be happy to research this. I had read the history by Laura Fagan Loftis but didn't realize that he was a police officer and just had not pursued how/why he died. But I will! Give me a week or two and I will check this out.

Author: daynamcmulle Surnames: Owings, Fagan, Loftis Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.owings/449/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, A letter written by the sister-in-law, Laura (Fagan) Loftis in 1924 of Archibald Young Owings that states that he came to a tragic end. 7 Sep 1893 is the date of his death in Atlanta. He would have been about 37 years old. Would some kind person with access to the newspaper archive in an actual library please see if this newspaper is available for a couple of days before that date? As a police officer, my guess is that something happened to him while on duty. So rather than an obituary, I'm guessing that this would be discussed in a regular article in The Atlanta Consititution. I have searched on Ancestry but they only have October in that year. Thank you so much in advance for any effort to help unravel this mystery.

Owings. The confusion comes from Col. Ninian Beal Richard's commanding officer in the Royal Potomac Rangers. There are no Rachel's in Ninian's family. Owen Humphrey is pretty much speculation although some of Owen's children did take the Owings surname - it is a mystery still to be solved. My line is Joshua as well - he is the youngest son. He was a active Methodist. My 6th great grandfather Rev. Richard Owings was the first American born Methodist preacher and circuit rider.

I sell a CD version of the book for $20, with Addison's Authorization. Gateway has also changed its name and/or gone out of business. I think Captain Richard Owings was married twice (best guess) or there were 2 Richard Owings in Maryland, both who married a different Rachel. Addison's book does not go into much before Captain Richard Owings. I was contacted by a Humphrey researcher who shared credible information that the Humphrey's came to Pennyslvania from Wales with among their childrn was Owen. They were Quakers and Owen found that religion did not fit in thie savage land and was dismissed from the church. He moved to Maryland, changed his name to Richard Owings and rose to the rank of Captain in the militiam fighting with indians. There are at least 2 other stories I have seen but I beleive in this version and 2 wives. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Juanita was born in Nevada, Ohio, on January 31, 1914, the daughter of the late Alonzo Milo and Edna Clara (Traxler) Owings. She lived in Wyandot County until 1926 when she moved with her family near Marion, Ohio. She graduated from Marion Harding High School in 1932. While living in Marion, Ohio she was an active member of Lecture Recital Club and she played in a piano quartet which broadcast occasionally over the OSU University Broadcasting Station. On October 22, 1939 she married her husband, Ralph Lester Courtney, who preceded her in death on May 30, 1991. They shared over 52 wonderful years together. She lived in Springfield, Ohio during World War II while her husband served in the 661st Air Force Band at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. She worked in the accounting department at Robbins & Myers where they manufactured parts for the Norden Bomb Site. Following World War II she moved with her husband and family to Mount Gilead. Juanita took pride in her loving family. She also enjoyed 15 years working with her husband at the R & H Decorating Center which they owned for 35 years. She loved helping people at the store and sharing her knack for decorating with their customers. Juanita and Ralph spent their leisure time listening to and attending Big Band music and symphony concerts and watching the birds from their deck of their house that her father built in 1951. Juanita was a perfectionist in all of her endeavors. She sewed very intricate items including Christmas ornaments, her own clothing, banners for church, and baton competition outfits for her daughter Sharon. She was very particular about her yard, always having beautiful flower gardens. Juanita was a devoted member of Trinity United Methodist Church for over 60 years. She touched hearts of those listening as she played quiet music on the piano before worship service on Sunday mornings. She especially enjoyed playing organ and piano duets with Miriam Nixon, Mary Jean Hickson, Francis Smith, Lenore Rhodebeck and Susan Douglas. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Women, Senior Progress Club, Mothers Forum and Morrow County Hospital Auxiliary. She volunteered at Woodside Village Care Center where she played piano for worship services for over 25 years. She was also a private piano lessons teacher for over 30 years, with her first student being her sister, Ethel Marie. A common theme throughout Juanita's life was her love of music. Director Randy Mann of the Mt. Gilead Show Choir said it best, ".so many people never get it. It's more than notes and rhythms, more than dynamic and phrasing. Music is a momentary expression of something from the heart. If you're lucky and do everything right, it reaches in and touches your soul." Juanita responded, "These are my thoughts about music. Music did so much for me. It seemed like it reached in and touched my soul." Juanita will be dearly missed by her son, Philip (Chellee) Courtney of Nederland, CO; five grandchildren: Carrie (Jesse) Trujillo, Colin (Kathryn) Courtney, Lynne (Rudy) Gauthier, Joanne (Rob) Normandin III, Dr. Tommy Meredith; six grandchildren: Eleana, Avyn, Rudy Jr., Corrie Danielle, Bo, and Courtney; a sister, Ethel Marie Shroats of Prospect; and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband and parents, Juanita was preceded in death by her only daughter, Sharon Kay Meredith, to cancer on March 29, 2006; and her brother, Kenny F. Owings on December 16, 2009. The Courtney family will greet friends from 4 - 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 18, 2012, at the Snyder Funeral Home, Craven Chapel, 67 N. Main St., Mount Gilead. Services celebrating her life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 19, 2012, at the Trinity United Methodist Church, 75 E. High St., Mount Gilead with Pastor Lori Burdette-Steele officiating. Burial will follow in Rivercliff Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Acclaim Hospice or to the Trinity United Methodist Church, or any musical organization. Snyder Funeral Homes of Mount Gilead is honored to have been chosen to serve Juanita's family and your private condolences may be expressed to them by visiting www.snyderfuneralhomes.com.
