Jerry William Owens

Jerry William Owens was the youngest of David D and Francis Owens’ children, and the only one to stay in Missouri. He was born September 6, 1875 in Jasper, Missouri, and was listed as Jerimiah in the 1880 census. He was not living with his parents in the 1900 census, and I haven’t found him anywhere else that year. He married Clyde Minnie Umbarger on March 10, 1909, and by 1910 they had settled in Springfield, Greene, Missouri. Jerry was evidently involved in politics and was a Missouri delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1948. He was an insurance agent for Penn Mutual.


He died in Springfield September 3, 1948. His wife died in Springfield, February 8, 1965.

Their children were Mary Frances Owens, born in Missouri on 10 Jan 1911, died 22 Sept 1998 in Michigan, married to Glen Maxwell Wingo, and David Allen Owens born January 1, 1913.
