Obituary- Owen, Carroll

DEATH ON A HIGHWAY
Struck by a motor car in front of his brother’s home just north of Topeka on highway 75, Carroll Owen, 72-year-old Shawnee county farmer, died instantly Tuesday night.

Elvin W. Wilson, of 1717 North Taylor street, told E. M. Beal and Ed Mays, sheriff’s deputies that Owen stepped in front of the car and he did not see him in time to stop. Owen was leaving the home of his brother, A. J. Owen, where he had spent the day.

Dr. H. L. Clark, coroner, was making further investigation into the accident today, but did not believe an inquest would be called.

A resident of Shawnee county nearly all his life, Owen is survived by seven sisters, Mrs. Mattie Attebury, Rossville; Mrs. Alice Neiswender, route 6; Mrs. Elma Button, Topeka; Mrs. Clara Button, route 5; Mrs. Zelia Welton and Miss Olive Owen, both of Topeka, and Mrs. Ethel Ricketts, Burbank., Calif.; and two brothers, A. J. Owen, route 5, and William Owen, Hugo, Colo.

Funeral services will be Friday at 2 o’clock, from Conwell’s mortuary, burial in Rochester cemetery.—Topeka State Journal.
