Oswalt, George A: (1850-1902); d. 12-19-1902; “The many old friends and neighbors of Mr George Oswalt were shocked and grieved Monday evening to hear that he had met with a terrible accident in the harvest field, and that it was believed his back was broken. He had been accidentally knocked off of a header-bed by the falling of the mast, while he was unloading, and his back broken between the shoulder blades. The accident occurred Monday afternoon about 3 o’clock. The header men on Mr Oswalt’s place were short a man, and the latter took charge of one of the wagons until another man could be secured. He was at the stack and was just in the act of unloading the nets. The hoist hook had been hitched on, and the driver had started to draw the net up, when one of the guy ropes broke, letting the mast down with a crash. Mr Oswalt had jumped up on the upper edge of the header-bed, as is the custom, to allow the nets full swing while going out, when the guy rope broke. He fell back over, but whether the mast hit him, or did he fall from the jar on the rack, no one knows. There were no bruises or scratches on him, and it is surmised that the pole struck the rack close to where he was sitting, throwing him back. Those who saw him as he fell, say that he was thrown up a foot or two above the rack. The fall could not have been over six or eight feet, but he was lying perfectly helpless when assistance came, and he then said that his back was broken. He was brought to town about 6 o’clock in the evening, and Dr Whitney called to attend him. A hasty examination confirmed their worst fears. The next morning he was taken to Spokane, where he was operated upon in the hospital in the afternoon. A broken joint was removed from the back, and the patient is now resting easy. The doctors seem to think there is a slight chance for recovery. Mr Oswalt for many years conducted a hardware store in Davenport, and was one of the most esteemed and respected citizens in the community, and expressions of profound regret are everywhere heard that such a calamity should have overtaken him. He is still in the prime of life, and it is hoped that he may win in the slight chance left him.” (LCT:9-19-1902) “First Methodist Episcopal Church of Davenport.

Miss Rosina Morgans, aged 20 years, eldest daughter of Mrs Owens, who lives a few miles southwest of town, died Tuesday morning after about a week's serious illness, although she had been ailing several weeks from nervous trouble. Miss Morgan was a young lady of excellent character, an exemplary Christian, modest and retiring in disposition. Her death will be deeply mourned by the family, with whom she was a favorite. The funeral services were conducted by Rev Walker, in the Presbyterian church, Wednesday, the remains being followed to the grave by a large concourse of neighbors. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their hour of affliction. Deceased was a niece of Rev Jonathan Edwards, of Spokane." (LCT: 2-19-1897) (Editor's NOTE:. The name in the obit was Rosina Morgans, but in the tombstone listings and death records, it was Rosine Owens. The couple is also in the cemetery, and they had 7 or more children, so it is not likely that this child was from a different marriage, but could be. Strangely enough, maybe she did have a different father as T B Owens was living until 1902, and the obit does not include him. Wonder if we should list her name in both places, as Owens and again as Morgans. Marge.)

The patient rallied from the operation, but on the evening preceding his death, began to sink,, passing away, amidst family friends, on Saturday. The remains were brought back to Davenport Sunday evening, his eldest son, Rev Edmund Owens, of Mullen, Idaho, and his brother-in-law, Rev Jonathan Edwards, of Pendleton, Oregon, accompanying them. The funeral took place at the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon, Rev J A Rodgers conducting brief services. Mr T B Owens was born in North Wales 55 years ago, came to America in 1881, and for a time lived in Pennsylvania. He came to Lincoln County in 1887, and secured a farm near town, and in the spring of 1891 his family joined him. He leaves a wife and seven children. He was a quiet, industrious, hard-working citizen, who enjoyed the esteem and good will of all who knew him. For several months his health had been quite poor, and a few weeks since his condition became so alarming that his physicians concluded that he would have to be taken to a hospital for an operation. The sympathy of neighbors are with the bereaved household, who are thus early deprived of the directing care of a husband and father.” (LCT: 11-21-1902);
