I am doing my cousin's line, and came across her father's obit. He died in Texas, but believe he was born in Iowa. Name: Fred P. Owens, son of Fred Owens Born: Sept. 10, 1924 Died: Feb. 27, 1980 Texas Married twice: 1st to Margery Frain [my mother's sister] 2nd to Helen P. ???? [death cert. said Helen P. Owens] Parents: Fred Owens and Janis PIRTLE. Any information on this group I sure would appreciate. Can't assess Ancestry or MyFamily to see further information. I have his social security number as well, and will give that out only if requested. The death cert. doesn't say where he was born. However, I do know Fred and Margery lived in Iowa before 1947 and did so up until 1960 or 1970, so any help would not go wasting.

1910 Cedar County, IA has Fred W. Owen age 28 and Wife Anna B. Owen age 25 both born in IA married for one year with no children. His parents were born in OH and hers were born in Germany. 1920 Cedar County, IA has the same couple ages 38 and 35 with no children. 1920 Pottawattamie County, IA has Fred A. Owen age 41 with three daughters Lanir age 10, Dora age 7 and Josephine age 4. Wife's name is written in but crossed out and he is listed as a widower. Almost looks like she passed away during the census. 1920 Pottawattamie County, IA there is a large Owen family . Husband Thomas Owen age 46, Martha Owen age 41 with a son, Fred Owen, age 20. This Fred would certainly be old enough to have had a son in 1924.
