I asked my Dad about your family and he had some remembrances as well. In looking at the info I have here at home. it says' "at the turn of the century, there were about 6 general stores in Owassa". So, we'll have to narrow it down a bit, won't we? I came across an obit in the 1948 newspapers that I'd copied: Mrs. Margaret Perkins, age 91, formerly of Owassa. Is she any relation to your father? You may email me direct and I'll send it to you.
