Nellie Agnes Owens

Owen’s second child was Nellie Agnes, born September 9, 1872 in Rio, Knox, Illinois. Owen must have moved his family to California before 1983, because Nellie married Orra V Dubbs in Santa Cruz on May 10, 1893. Nellie and Orra were cousins, and according to another Owen’s family member it caused quite a row, so Nellie and Orra moved back to Nevada, Ness, Kansas by 1895. Orra Dubbs, Orra Dubbs, did I say Orra Dubbs? Isn’t there a picture that I thought said Orrie Dibbs? Yes!! There is. It’s labeled Mr and Mrs Orrie Dubbs. Another picture identified!!
