Description

Sketch of Lichtenberger, Hinckley & Co.woolen mills. In addition to Adam Lichtenberger. William Sidney Allen and Ernest Dale Owen are listed. Hinckley's first name cannot be read. NOTE: An Adam Lichtenberger was coroner of Posey County, Indiana November 2, 1863, to November 2, 1865 and also served as a county representative, dates unknown. While this cannot be regarded as a proven correlation between that man and the one represented in this photo, it does seem likely.""Ernest Dale Owen, the third child of Robert Dale Owen, to grow up, born in 1838 in New Harmony, was also trained abroad with the other children and received a cultural education. He became an excellent violinist. He was trained in the law and later moved to Chicago where he practiced for many years. Ernest did not have the altruistic sense of the Owens. When about seventy-five years old, while in a state of mental depression, he committed suicide, this about 1914. His wife was Frances Mann, born 1855, one of three sisters who married into the Owen family." (https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/imh/article/view/6280/6276) This makes him the grandson of Scottish social reformer Robert Owen, who had purchased the town in 1825.
