His Dream Fulfilled by Others Man of Western Ohio Aids Automobile
Springfield July 28. H W Owen, a Western Ohio man, continues his work on automobile development in a small shop. The aging inventor recalls his early steam motor built at 14 in Richland Ohio, achieving 17 mph before it burned in a fire. He claims to be the first American automobile pioneer, though credit rests with others in official circles. Owen has produced 27 patents on parts and accessories and remains focused on enjoying the craft rather than seeking fame or profits.
