COWDEN, TREMEAUX, MILLIGAN, DOUMONT
Nov. 2, 1917 McDonald PA Record

John K. COWDEN died on Thursday morning, October 25, 1917, at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Harry MCNARY, at Houston. Mr. COWDEN's death was due
indirectly to injuries received on Friday before his death, when he fell
from an apple tree from which he was preparing to gather a basket of fruit.
No on was with Mr. COWDEN at the time he fell, and he laid on the ground for
some time in an unconscious condition before he was discovered and taken to
a nearby house. Later he was removed to the home of his sister, Mrs.
MCNARY, in Houston. The physician who was summoned found one arm fractured
and injuries about he neck and other parts of the body. Later Mr. COWDEN
suffered from an ailment approaching pneumonia, the result, it is believed,
of lying on the cold ground after falling from the tree. This trouble was
the immediate cause of death.
Mr. COWDEN's wife was a Miss BOYCE of Chartiers township. She died several
years ago. Mr. COWDEN is survived by his son Emil COWDEN, of Painesville,
Ohio, and daughter, Mrs. A. A. GILMORE of West Newton. He is also survived
by the following brothers and sisters: Robert and William of the Hickory
section, Joseph and VanEman of near Venice, Mrs. Harry MCNARY of Houston,
Mrs. Joseph LITTLE of Wilkinsburg, and Miss Ida COWDEN.
Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. MCNARY at Houston Saturday
afternoon, in charge of the Rev. S. G. CONNER of Venice, assisted by the
Rev. J. C. KISTLER of Houston. Interment was in the Venice cemetery.
