Owen Historical Society News:...

A fringed linen frock wrapped itself around his lean, lanky frame. A decorated sheathed knife, suspended from a cord around his neck, and a powder horn cradled along his side produced an image of the early American frontier.

Letter to the editor: Threlkeld...

   I am William Ford Threlkeld, the proud father of John Brent Threlkeld. My son is seeking to serve as our next circuit judge in the 15th judicial circuit that includes Carroll, Grant and Owen counties.
I opened my law practice in 1949 and I retired in 2010. I practiced law in front of many judges you may have known - Ward Yager, Jim Ford, Charles Satterwhite and our current judge Stephen Bates - as well as countless other state and federal judges.

Letter to the editor: Support...

On Wednesday, April 2, 2014, I was admitted to the emergency room at New Horizons Hospital.
What a busy place!
The ambulances come and go 24/7.
In spite of how busy they were, I received excellent care.  
The doctors are outstanding and I especially appreciated Dr. Betty Mitchell and our own Dr. Christy Johnson.  
My guardian angels were Nancy, Tink, Donna, Amy, Shari, Celia and others.  
I got to bring Kasey home with me, and that is a blessing.
