Samuel L. Owens. Among those who deservedly rank with the progressive and leading citizens of Calhoun County, stands the name of the above mentioned gentleman. He was born in Dallas County, Ark., January 11, 1854, the third child born to William A. and Elizabeth S. Owens, natives of Tennessee, who moved to Dallas County, Ark., about 1847. Our subject was principally raised in Ouachita and Calhoun Counties, and received a fair education at home, and at the ordinary country schools. His principal occupation has been farming. He owns a fine farm of 160 acres, with fifty acres under cultivation. He was married to Miss Martha James, in October, 1874. She was the sixth child of William and Mariah James, natives of Missouri. They were among the earliest settlers of Saline County, from which county they moved to Calhoun County. Mrs. James died in Calhoun County, in 1880 and Mr. James still lives in Calhoun County. Mr. and Mrs. Owens have nine children, viz: Annie L, Berthel R., Marcus L., Edgar and Oscar (twins), Sarah E., Alice M., Rupert P and Lydia R. Marcus L. died in 1880; the rest of the children live with their parents. Mr. Owens is an ardent Democrat and takes deep interest in the politics of his county. He was elected constable of his township, in 1876, and served one term in that capacity. In 1882 he was elected justice of the peace, and served for four years. He was then (in 1886) elected to represent Calhoun County in the General Assembly, and served two years in that capacity. He is also a member of the Farmers' and Laborers' Union, which he joined in 1886, and is a zealous worker for all that pertains to the public welfare.
