David and Mary (Bear) Owens raised their grandson Craig Forrest Owens. He was the son of their daughter Alice Owens. Craig's father was Joshua Summers Smith. Alice and Joshua never married.
David Tod Owens went to the Gold Rush in California somewhere around 1848 to 1849. He had a business out there and he developed arthritis.
He had a ledger of people that owed him money that was left with someone to collect the money, but we don't think that he ever did collect.
Not sure when he came back to Ohio. When he came back here he kept a ledger of what people bought from him and what they paid. Feed, hay, produce etc.
He had told Mary Bear before he left that if she wasn't married when he came back he would marry her. In the meantime she married but her husband died and so when David came back, he married her.
Mary and the Cree had gone to church and a blizzard came up, on the way home Mary got cold and laid down on the ground and Cree made her get up and keep going. If it had not been for that we might not of had a grandmother.
Memories of Elsie V. Owens Tatman, his gr. granddaughter.
