He is my Great Great Grandfather! His son Alfred Deoran Stowell is my great Grandfather! His son Alfred Cornelius Stowell is my Grandfather! Alfred Deoran Stowell married Mary Annie Glass. My mother's name was Mary Alverna Stowell. Her brother, Alfred Jason Stowell is my uncle. He and his wife and children would come to visit for Family Reunions in New Mexico from Texas and when we were real small he would hold us on his lap and sing "The Old Rugged Cross" etc. We loved him special. Jennifer Stowell's father is my cousin! (Ellery, Nancy, Steve and John.) My mother always spoke very highly of her grandfather (Alfred Deoran) and held him in the highest regards. I remember him visiting from Arizona when I was a very young child before he died in 1963. I am very interested in the ancestry, and am working on a family tree for my new and first grandchild. I am wanting to know about Alfred Deoran's siblings, and his mother and father. My mother told me he had a brother named Bert Stowell. And now I know that he also had at least one sister. Can you help me find the names of Alfred Deoran's siblings, parents and grand parents? Does anyone know Oscar Stowell's middle name? I know my grandfather, Alfred Deoran and his mother moved from Iowa to Elida, New Mexico, and from there to Roswell, New Mexico. Alfred Deoran spent his retirement years in Arizona. But I am curious as to where they came from in Iowa. Was it Des Moines? And before Iowa? I would like to trace them all the way back to England. Alfred Cornelius Stowell married my grandmother Harriett Caroline Hendrix. My Grandmother was very sweet to me and I am also curious to know her ancestry. Her mother's name was Hattie Butler and I think her father's name was Jason Hendrix. They lived in Elida also. (I think) Does anyone have any info for me Stowell, Hendrix, or Glass? Also Birthdates and death dates if possible. Jennifer if you read this message could you please ask your grandmother (my Aunt Alice) if she knows any of this family's history? My mother can't remember things as well as she once did. Any Info would be appreciated. Regards: Alverna Blaise Beverage
