C.H. Cowan dies Near Town
Charles H. Cowan, 87 years old, one of the oldest men in the Lebanon vicinity, died at his home two miles north of Lebanon, Tuesday evening, December 6, 1927.
Mr. Cowan was a true type of a Southern Christian gentleman, and in hs days of activity made a world of friends that he held all through the days that he was unable to mingle with them.
Years ago Mr. Cowan made due preparation to embark upon that delightful journey, and a more welcome guest never entertered that home of many mansions.
At the time of the Civil War he enlisted while in his teens to battle for the Southland, and as a member of the 16th cavalry saw considerable service on the field where man's courage was given the supreme test. His genial manner always attracted the attention and admiration of a large circile of friends, and the memory of such a citizen will linger as a precious recollection to all who knew him.
The funeral was conducted from his late home North of town Thursday and he now sleeps in the family plot where many of his kin are buried.
The following children survive:
Charlie and Dave Cowan, Mrs. George H. Banner, Mrs. Will Gilmore, Mrs. S.W. Banner and Mrs. John Burns.
