Hi Janice,
I saw the Oakland site but have not done much research on my wife’s family yet.Her relative’s in Massachusetts and Florida have a lot of info. I will need to contact them.
Grace was my wife’s great grandmother. Her full name is Grace Bell Stoddard, daughter of Charles and Mary Stoddard.
Grace was born in Waterville, ME on 20 Aug 1884. She was married in April 1904. (Oakland 1910 census).
I was told that her husband was named Charles Owens and he may have been Welsh.
Grace also married Walter B. Collins on 20 Nov 1915.At some point she moved her family to Massachusetts.
One of her husbands died in WWI of mustard gas poisoning fighting for the British in France.
Grace was a Baptist. She was a Foster mother to over 1000 children during her lifetime.
Grace died 16 Jul 1978 in Haverhill, MA. and is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery, Merrimac, MA.
Mahlon Owens was called John Merton Owens. He was born 21 Sep 1905 in Waterville, ME. He died of cancer 16 May 1970 in Merrimac, MA and is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery, Merrimac, MA.
Beryl A. Owens married Merle Victor Watson son of Will P. Watson and Gertrude Merchant of Wilton Maine.
Beryl Owens and Merle "Pete" Watson were my wife's grandparents.
Beryl died when her children were young from high blood pressure.
Ralph Edward Owens was married to Mildred and had at least one child that I know of who is still living.
Ralph married a 2nd time. She is still living.
A child Owens was listed as deceased in the 1910 Oakland census.
Grace adopted a daughter Mythel C. and also raised children she fostered to adulthood that are still living.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Be careful if you email me direct -the "vowels" are numbers.
Bob
