[QUOTE="Arne Mjåland, post: 258708, member: 136099"] I bring a story about him, as I do not think it has been written much about him before. It is from A history of Clewer, Windsor,Berkshire, The churchyard "Here lies" a selection of some of the interesting people buried in the church and churchyard at Clewer. [url="http://home.clara.net"]http://home.clara.net[/url] /iainkeer/clewer/booklets/churchyard.htm Hermann Soeldner has got Mr. Owen in his book, but he has not got the date of his birth. Probably they have it at the churchyard office. Here is a bit of the story: "The old Churchyard of Clewer has witnessed many strange and touching scenes during the long roll of centuries that has borne the destignation of "Gods Acre" still perhaps never one so unusual or patethic as that which occurred on Wednesday, when the ocean-laved remains of a Clewer laddie, rescued from the surging billows of the Atlantic, were laid to rest in that quiet and peaceful burial ground. His was one of the bodies recovered by the "Bennett McKay" and taken ashore where his father, who had awaited a living son, could identify his and claim his dead body. The beautiful burial service was held May 25 1912. The grave where Owen and his sister are buried is a stone crosson steps, and it may be found beside the path which leads round the north side of the Church. The inscription about Owens death on the Titanic is on the step at the back of the memorial." Have any of you seen that memorial? [/QUOTE]
