James Bertram Owens was the third child of David D and Francis M Owens. He was born on March 16, 1874 in Missouri. He married Orlena E Elliot after 1900, probably in Missouri, and before 1906 when he first appears in Santa Cruz working as a teamster. Sometime prior to 1910 he starts a Transfer Business with his brother David Arthur. Starting in 1938 he is an Automobile Dealer.
His wife Orlena was born in Ohio on July 12, 1884. By 1900 her family moved to Jasper, Missouri, where she would have met James. She died in Santa Cruz on 21 January, 1956.
They had two children. Their daughter, Frances was born in Santa Cruz July 9, 1906, and she died December 31, 1988 in Alameda, California. She was married to a Russell. Their son, Elliott R Owens was born in Santa Cruz on April 5, 1912 and died in Marin, California on June 27, 1979. He was married first to Louise Annabelle Hocom and later in life he married Mary T Grubb. I don’t know if either of them had any children.
