• Notes

  William and Ida moved to Oklahoma in 1900 and settled on a farm at Grove where their four children were born. In 1922 John Owens and son, Crittendon, started out west to California. They stopped in Oklahoma to see John's nephew, William and family....It was not long afterward that word arrived from California that John had found work adn the opportunity was great for others. By 1923 William had sold his property at auction and was on his way to California. They settled in Oroville where William started to work at Swain's lumber mill. By 1926 both William and Ida were working in the Sunny Cal cannery, and they remained employed there until their retirement. There is a photograph of the family on p. 562 of the Stone County History Book. The heading reads: From left: William, "Rex", Ida May, "Cy," Orval, and Freeta Owens. p. 562 Leonard Carey Stone county History Book
