DEATH OF JUDGE OWERB

Hon. Frank W. Owers, one of Coronado’s best known residents, passed away at his home Friday evening, December 31, 1915. His death was a shock to his many friends who failed to realize that the Judge has been suffering more than usual during the past month. The Intense pain produced heart failure, and he slept quietly away. Judge Owers was 63 years of age, and prior to his coming to Coronado some eight years ago, was prominent in political and legal circles In Leadvllle, Colorado, where he was elected Judge of the Superior Court. A man of sterling worth, he believed in giving the under dog a chance, and fought the battles of the working man before his elevatioif to the bench. Since coming to Coronado, Judge Owers has been in active practice, and was held In high esteem by his associates at the bar. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Janet Owers, and three children. A short service was held at three o’clock, Sunday afternoon at Christ Church, Rev. Charles Spalding officiating. The pall bearers were Hon. George Fuller, Richard C. Cunning, Captain Evans, Major Hugh Gwyn, Wilmot Griffiss and J. J. Hernan. The January meeting of the Coronado Parent-Teachers Associations will be held on the afternoon of the 13th at 3 o’clock, in the kindergarten room. There is much important business to take up and every parent having children in Coronado school should be present. Mrs. Young, Mrs. Lukens and Mrs. Hartsough will read papers on “What in my opinion should be the aim, object and good of the Parent-Teacher Associations.” This undoubtedly will be interesting and helpful. Miss Evans of the domestic science department will talk on the work and answer questions from the P. T. A. “question box.” You are urged to send in questions pertaining to the school. They will be answered intelligently at the P. T. A. meetings. Don’t forget the P. T. A. clothes closet. Some clothing has been sent in, but none seems to need mending so ladies are asked to bring their own sewing and tatting. There will be a good program.
