Dr. Joseph Allen OWEN

Information sent to T.Mason on 4 Apr 2008 by Patti McFarlin. "Joseph A - Joseph Allen Owen became a physician (followed in his father's footsteps) and by 1900 was living in Red Bluff, Tehama County, CA.  He married Letitia F. Jones of Breckinridge Co., KY and they had three known children:  Halle, Joseph Jr and Robert D."

Joseph A, Sr and wife Letitia are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Red Bluff, Tehama Co., CA - He died 1925 and she in 1926.  I am doing research on their son, Robert who married in 1919 to Myrl E. Dale, the daughter of a banker - William Dale - who established/organized the formation of banks in NE, TX, and in 1904 the Bank of Corning in Corning, Tehama County, CA.  By 1912 he built the William Dale building in which the Bank of Corning relocated from its original site.
