CHARLES R. COWAN, deceased, was born in Warren Co., April 5. 1827; his parents were Charles and Jane W. (McPherson) Cowan, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Kentucky. His grandfather, James Cowan, emigrated to Ohio in 1800. and bought a large tract of land in what is now Sec. 17. on which he lived and died, and on which most of his children lived and died. Our subject was reared on this same farm, and in 1815 bought a farm near it, on which he died. He was married in 1850 to Miss Judah Hall, daughter of John W. Hall, by whom he had five children, of whom three, Merrilla J., Minnie A. and Carrie E , are now living, Mr. Cowan, although a strong Republican, never aspired to any political honors, and frequently refused office when pressed by his friends to accept. |
