Hi Michelle, you indicate your Mary Koster Owings had siblings, John, Henry and George and cousins Della Jessie, Ralph and Marie!
My grandson descends from Henry and Mary Mannhardt Koster and Henry and Mary had children named Della, Jessie, Ralph, Clara, Fred, Vada, Harry, Myrtle and Lester.They had a total of 12 chilred, however there were only the 9 named in Mary Mann hardt's obituary.I do not have a Marie.Perhaps she is one of the 12 I do not have!
It appears to me that Henry Perry, my grandson's line and your Mary Koster Owings are brother and sister! Would certainly appreciate being able to chat with you.I understand that Sam Perry is your father.I am wondering what relation is your father to Arlie Perry?
Hoping that this reaches you and that we can compare and exchange information on the Koster line.I have tried all of the e mail addresses I find on the gen forum board but they all bounce.
God Blessyou and yours,Addie here in Florida with my son for now.

I am also looking for my Koster family.
My gggrandmother, Mary Koster, was born on 18 Feb. 1857 in E. St. Louis, Ill.
Mary married Benjamin F. Owings in appx. 1874. They had two children in Iowa--Ida Geneva Owings & George Preston Owings. They then moved to Oregon & settled in Jackson County. Mary died in 1925. Her name at that time was Mary Ingledue.
I don't know her parents' names. I know she had siblings--John, Henry, George. I know she had cousins Della, Jessie, Ralph and Marie. That's about it.
Does anything match your research?
