Notes |
- Mrs. Martha Gregg Chowen, widow of Richard Chowen, passed away Friday at Beamsville, Canada, aged 86 years. She was a daughter of the late Townsend and Mary Eachus, of West Chester. When quite young she had been married to Dr. Gregg, of Philadelphia. They settled at Lima, where the doctor soon established a large practice through the county. After his death the widow still remained at the pretty home at Lima. Several years after the death of Dr. Gregg, Richard Chowen, a veterinarian from Canada, went to Delaware county to visit and he met the widow, admired her pleasing manner and wed her. At his death she went to Media and resided with her sister, Mrs. Emma Levis, of North Monroe Street. Fourteen years ago the deceased went to Canada, where she had since lived. The remains will arrive in West Chester, today and interment will be private at Greenmount Cemetery. Rev. C. MacLeod, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Beamsville, will accompany the body to West Chester. Mrs. Chowen is survived by a sister, Mrs. Levis, of Media. Both of Mrs. Chowen's husbands are buried at Greenmount.
