Death of / A. S. CowanDeath Came Very Suddenly / Sunday Morning at / Eureka Springs, Ark.Was in Apparent Good Health the Day BeforeRemains Arrived at Denton Yesterday / and the Funeral Will Take / Place This Morning
The saddest piece of news that this paper has had to publish in many months is to record the death of A. S. Cowan, which occurred in Eureka Springs, Ark. on Sunday morning at 6 o'clock.Mr. Cowan left Denton a little over a week ago, apparently in good health, with the exception of a slight rheumatic pain in his arm, which was no doubt a forerunner of the case of the heart which finally cost him his life.
On Saturday night before his death, Mr. Cowan went up town and visited a barber shop, procuring a shave as was his custom and returning home. Later, he had one of the spells with his heart, which had been bothering him for a day or two, a physician being called in for consulation after his return. His death came unexpectedly at 6 o'clock a.m.
Relatives here and at Lewisville were at once apprised of his death by wire, and the remains were placed on board a fast train and arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, where they were taken to the family home on Mulberry street.
The remains were met at the train by a large number of people and by the Woodmen of the World in a body. Of the latter order, Mr. Cowan was an active and enthusiastic member and the funeral today will be under the auspices of Denton camp, No. 15, W. O. W.
The funeral arrangements were announced yesterday afternoon to take place as follows. The funeral will be presided at the residence at 10 o'clock a. m. and will be followed by interment at the Odd Fellows cemetery.
A. S. Cowan had been a resident of Texas for more than twenty-one years and came to this county from Grapevine where he had lived for some time. For the last eighteen or twenty years he had been living in Denton, where he had built up a large fire insurance and loan business, in which he took great pride. He was 54 years of age and his father and mother and oldest brother are residents of the town of Lewisville in this county, all of whom are here today attending the funeral.
Deceased was born in the state of Tennessee and left that state when comparatively a young man. He left two children and his wife to mourn his loss. The children are Carl and Margie, a boy and a girl. One of our best and most substantial citizens, his death will be a loss to the community such as is seldom felt. The sympath of our entire people go out to the distressed relatives of the lodge of which he was an active member has suffered teh loss of one of the cornerstones of its success as an order in Denton.
Always of a bouyant and cheerful disposition, he had carried sunshine through his entire life which radiated throught the lives of all those with whom he came in contact.
____ Cowan is dead in the flesh but his good works will live after him and his memory will remain
____ in the hearts and lives of his fellow townsmen, who have so long dwelt neighbor to him and felt the guidance of his genial compatibility. Peace to his ashes.
