William David Owen (1874 Oct. 21 - 1925 Nov. 4), Born at Ty Frannan, Caergeiliog was an author best known for his novel Madam Wen (White Lady) which was published in book form in 1925, although it had first appeared as a serial in the Welsh language newspaper y Genedl Gymraeg (The Welsh Nation) in 1914. The first English edition of the story was published in an abridged form in October 2009, in a biographical work about the author by T. T. M. Hale, entitled The Rhosneigr Romanticist. Owen died in 1925, barely two weeks after his novel was first published. He was survived by his wife, Gwen (née Empsall) his mother Jane and two sisters, Ellen and Sarah. Ellen worked for Florence Nightingale between 1885 and 1892 as cook and housekeeper.
