He was brought up on a farm and reared principally by strangers. It was in October 1850, when he came to Pottawattamie County, Iowa, and engaged chiefly in herding cattle until about 1854. He then married and settled in Monona County, Iowa, near Ashton Grove, North of where Onawa now is. Remaining there until about 1860, he returned to Pottawattamie County and engaged in jobbing and trading in livestock at Council Bluffs. In 1874, Francis located upon his present farm of 160 acres being then a Mormon claim and one of the first settlers. He built a fine cottage and embellished the premises making a fine home. Living streams from pure springs ran through the farm. Thus, dairying was a continued specialty. Mr. Owens was a zealous and intelligent Republican Prohibitionist, a man of easy manners and address, and honorable in all his dealings, spending much time and money in the cause of temperance. On June 25, 1854, Francis married Samantha Jane Douglass. They were the parents of Len Douglass Owens and Frank M. Owens.
