Thanks, Steve. While I was 99.9% certain that you had found the record and grave of THE James Owens, the lack of racial designation that was common for that era was my one and only concern. Your explanation of order of burial and the absence of racial designation elsewhere in the records have removed any doubt in my mind. In addition, I believe your find is further proof of the accuracy and authenticity of the "Owens Statement" and will change the way the Booth escape saga is told. Again, I congratulate you on your find and express my appreciation to you for sharing it. Roger, you should also take a bow; this is another example of how your Forum is helping us to discover the past.
