Obituary |
"REV. J. R. B. OWEN DEAD - Rector of
Bradwell-on-Sea.
"We
regret to state that the Rev. John Robert Blayney Owen, rector of
Bradwell-on-Sea, Southminster, since 1905, and Rural Dean of Dengie, died
on Monday morning. He was 73 years of age, and early this month he was
seized with pains in the kidneys and was removed to a nursing home
in London, where he was operated upon. The operation was quite successful,
and he appeared to be going on well. On Sunday he was visited by Mrs.
Owen, to whom he spoke quite cheerfully about an early return to Bradwell.
Then alarming symptoms set in, a clot of blood forming near the heart, and
he passed away. He leaves a widow, one son, and two daughters. His elder
son, Sapper John Latimer Owen, died at a casualty clearing station in
France on October 31st, 1918―a few days before the armistice. The
surviving son is now serving with the Army in India. One of the daughters
is a nurse at Addenbrooke Hospital, Cambridge, and she recently returned
home suffering from blood poisoning.
"The Rev. J. R. B. Owen was an M.
A. of Oxford, and was ordained in 1876. He was an assistant master at
Trent College from 1872 to 1881, and Headmaster of Hawkeshead Grammar
School from 1881 to 1883, in which latter year he was elected Headmaster
of Trent College, where he remained until 1890. He then became rector of
Shereford and Vicar of Toftrees until 1895. The late rector lived a
retired life at Bradwell, where he was very happy among his books and in
his garden. He represented the parish on the Maldon Board of Guardians and
Rural District Council, and was chairman of the Bradwell Parish Council,
and of the trustees of the Bradwell Endowed Schools. His one sport was
shooting, and he was known as an expert shot."
