About Thomas C. Owen
THOMAS C. OWEN farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Highland Township, this county, January 25, 1852, and is the oldest son in a family of seven children, five of whom are yet living, born to John G. and Margaret (Mock) Owen. John G. Owen was the first white child born in Greene County, his birth occurring in Highland Township August 8, 1818. His parents, John H. and Susannah (Elrod) Owen, came from North Carolina to near Paoli, Ind., in 1817, and from there to the birthplace of John G. shortly before he was born. He selected farming for his occupation, as did his father before him, and although a man of but limited education, he became sufficiently versed in public affairs to fill the office of County Commissioner to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. He married Margaret Mock October 9, 1845, and they lived happily together until his death April 19, 1876. Mr.Owen was a man universally respected and beloved by all who knew him, and whose purity of character and benevolence was the pride of his family and neighbors. Thomas C. Owen is one of the progressive men of his township. He was married November 10, 1875, to Miss Josephine Stalcup, who was born near where she now resides, September 22, 1855, a daughter of George B. Stalcup, appropriate mention of whom is made in the sketch devoted to the Stalcup family. To Thomas C. Owen and wife two daughters-- Maud and Mary--have been born. Mr.Owen is a Republican in politics, a member of the K. of P. fraternity, and is the owner of a good farm of 250 acres.
