Notes:

Per Dorthea Vermillion Staffeld, Rosa and Ovid were married twice. They honored the date of the first time which was January 19, 1925. The Judge's license wasn't valid so they married the second time April 11, 1925, Cassville, MO. They kept this secret.

He was a carpenter living in Monett, Mo. for 30 years. His tombstone says "Not My Will but Thine be Done". According to Sonja Bentley's notes, Catholic Wiley and Ocie lived in the Owens Bend area of Stone Co. Verified by "History of Stone County, Missouri--Stone County Hist. Soc., 1989, p. 555.

Wiley Catholic Green Shelby Owens was of the Owens Bend area, Stone County, MO, and was a carpenter.

In a letter to Lorene Gines from Lou Davis dated July 15, 1985 she states that her mother, Helen Owens Gaines, said that grandpa was born, married and died on July 13. The birth and death dates may be correct, but we have a totally different marriage date.
