Grace D. Owen of Concord, New Hampshire, who applied for her SS# on November 24, 1936 and was issued the first card typed in Concord, which, because of the area number scheme, also happened to be the card with the lowest possible number. SS# 001-01-0001.
Daughter of Griffith Morris Owen and Ada Ethel Curtis. Her father Griffith was born on 12-29-1872 in Quincy, MA, the son of Griffith Owen and Margaret Jones. His father was born on 3-21-1843, in Bangor, Wales; he had immigrated in 1859, and he worked as a granite cutter in a quarry. In 1880, Griffith and his family lived in Gloucester, MA. His father was sick with rheumatism, and his mother was sick with a tumor in her abdomen. His mother died on 11-9-1880 of tuberculosis, and his father died on 3-28-1883 of heart disease, making Griffith an orphan at age 11.
Griffith Owen married Ada Ethel Curtis on 9-25- 1901, in Winterport, ME. She was born in 1882, in Red Beach, ME, the daughter of Lyman Curtis and Dorothy Webster.
Griffith and Ada were Grace's parents. The family first lived on Cherry Street, in Hardwick VT. By 1920, they had moved to Concord, NH and lived at 32 Centre Street. By 1930, they had moved to 66 N. State Street. Ada's mother, Dorothy Curtis, lived with them, after she became a widow, in 1918. (She died on 5-2-1936.) Griffith Owen worked as a stone cutter at a quarry, like his father.
Grace first married Alexander Rennie Jr., on 7-2-1925. He was born on 2-22-1900 in Aberdeen, Scotland. They lived at 246 N. Main Street, in Concord, NH. She worked as a bookkeeper for Page Belting Company (a leather company), where Alexander worked. That must have been how they met. Grace divorced him, on their sixth anniversary, on 7-2-1931, citing "extreme cruelty." She went back to using her maiden name of Owen, and she started working for The Perry Brothers Granite Company. (They were located at the rear of 216 N. State Street, and they used to be called, "The W.H. Perry & Company.") Alexander later became the treasurer at Page Belting Company, and he also got remarried.
After the divorce, Grace first lived at 8 Short Street, but then she moved back home with her parents, around 1933. By that time, her father owned a stone quarry, or was a superintendent at one, either in Peekskill, NY or Franklin, ME. Grace's family lived at 51 South Street, in Concord, NH.
Grace still worked as a bookkeeper for The Perry Brothers Granite Company, which was located at the home of the Perry family. The founder of the family, William H. Perry, had started the company. He was one of the early settlers of Concord; he had died in 1910 and then his sons took over the business. The quarry itself was located on Rattlesnake Hill, not far from the house. The quarry had opened in 1873, and they mined a medium bluish gray granite, which was mainly used for monuments.
Grace's father died around 1941. By 1942 she was working as a secretary for the New Hampshire State Board of Health. Grace married Kenneth Franklin Muzzey, around 1945. He was born on 6-29-1910, the son of William Muzzey and Cora Adams. Kenneth worked at a variety of jobs, including working for the post office, working as a printer, and working as a clerk in a paint and wallpaper store (C.F. Mudgett & Son).
Grace and Kenneth lived at 106 N. State Street, in Concord, for many years, which was a duplex. She continued working as a secretary for the New Hampshire State Department of Health (61-65 S. Spring Street), for many years as well. Kenneth later worked as a credit manager for a Sherwin-William Paint Store.
