I am just starting on my COWAN research. According to my grandmother, our COWAN family were all residents of Eau Claire. My great-great grandfather was William G. COWAN b. 3 Nov 1868. He was a fireman for the city of Eau Claire. After his first wife's death, William remarried a woman by the first name of Flo. He and his first wife (Sarah???) had 6 children (including 2 sets of twins.) The children of William and Sarah were: Lillian COWAN b. 3 Jul 1886 m. Oscar BAINE William COWAN b. 3 Jul 1886 Sarah Jane COWAN b. 13 Feb 1889 m. Chauncey Charles HOLCOMB (children Lois & Eleanor) John COWAN b. 14 Aug 1891 m. Laura ??? (children Deloris & Roderick) Mabel COWAN b. 6 Feb 1894 m. Van Searle (child Dorothy-died at age 12) Baby COWAN b. 6 Feb 1894 (died at birth along with mother) I would appreciate any information on the family and would be interested in proving William G. COWAN's occupation as fireman in Eau Claire. Thank you! Lori Davis mailto:[email protected] http://home.pacbell.net/davisent
