Noah Austin Owens

Noah Austin Owens was my mother's father. He was born in Alabama in 1904, and died in Pomona, California, in 1981.

About 1929 he married Bertha Lee Ellison. They were married until her death in 1972. They had 9 children, 7 of whom lived to maturity. Their eldest and youngest children both died in early childhood.

These are their children:

Leon Owens (1930-1970)
Roland Owens
Robert Owens
Shirley Lee Owens Delaney Tessler
William "Bud" Owens
Thomas Leon Owens
Lillian Ruth Owens Hogstad Heath

I believe that I have listed them correctly in the order of their birth. All of the family has passed away.

Arlie (Arlee), the eldest child that died, appears on the 1930 census. The youngest child, that also died in early childhood was named John.
