SEMI-WEEKLY INTERIOR JOURNAL, STANFORD, KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1883

At 6 o'clock Sunday morning, Mr. Asher Owsley departed this life, age 45 years. For a long time that terrible disease, consumption, had been gnawing at his vitals and for several months had confined him to his bed, where he slowly wasted away, fully conscious that death alone could relieve him. Mr. Owsley was a son of Dr. W.W. Owsley and was born in Pulaski county. When he was about 12 years of age his father removed to this county and here for the most part his life has been passed. After graduating at Centre College in 1857, he taught in the Seminary a while in Lancaster, during which time he became acquainted with Miss Mattie Dunlap Hopper, to whom he was married February 22, 1860. He followed the life of a farmer for some time subsequently and afterwards located in Stanford, where he engaged in the mercantile business and remained in it till a short time before his death. In 1869 he professed religion, joined the Presbyterian Church and became one of its most active and earnest members. His place in the Sunday-school, the prayer meeting and at preaching was never vacant and he was ever ready to aid by every means in his power the success and advancement of the cause he loved. The Church will miss him, the community, of which he was a honored member, will miss him, and his loving wife and son, how much they will miss him no pen can express. In their love and happiness, his whole life seemed wrapped and to their comfort and enjoyment all his energies were directed. Their only consolation can be in the sweet assurance that though dead to the world he would ever live in the bright mansions of the blest and at the right hand of the Redeemer, where there is no morrow and no more parting, await their coming. To them, to his aged father and to his brothers and sisters, the warmest sympathy of the community is extended in the hour of their grief and lose. At 2 P.M. yesterday, Rev. Wm. Crow preached a very touching discourse over the remains at the Presbyterian church and then a multitude of friends followed them to their last resting place in Buffalo Cemetery.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1883
The county Clerk recorded on the 13th inst., a deed from Asher Owsley's heirs to Wm. T. Ward for 98 acres of the Jake Owsley estate in this county. The price was $5,292.
