Elias Owen (1863 – 20 September 1888) was a Welsh amateur footballer who made three appearances as a goalkeeper for the Wales national team in 1884. He took his own life while depressed over the outcome of his college final examinations. ==Family and education== Owen was born in the first quarter of 1863 at Llanllechid, near Bangor where his father, also Elias, was headmaster of the National School. Elias Jr. was one of 13 children of the marriage between Elias Sr. (1833–1899) and Margaret Pierce (1839–fl.1901). Later in life, Elias Sr. was a schools inspector and an eminent antiquarian. Elias's elder brother, William Pierce Owen, also played for Wales, as did his cousins, Morgan and Hugh Morgan-Owen. Owen attended Ruthin Grammar School between 1880 and 1885 before going up to Lampeter College, where he studied theology.〔 In 1886, he married Zillah Parry (1861–1907), who was the daughter of Thomas, a farm bailiff, and Elizabeth Parry. The couple lived with his parents in the rectory at Efenechtyd, a few miles south of Ruthin, Denbighshire and had two children, William Parry Owen, born on 18 May 1887 and Eva Margaret Owen, born at Bontuchel, a village about two miles west of Ruthin, on 24 June 1888.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elias Owen (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
