Welcome Family


Welcome to the ER Owen Family blog.
The purpose of this BLOG is to share and disseminate as much information as we can about our grandparents. Many of the grandchildren knew Grandpa Evan and Grandmother Lizzie well. Some of us were born after their death or were so young we have no recollection of them. Be that as it may let us let them live on through all of us by sharing with one another and keeping our family connected.

Evan and Lizzie spent much of their married life in Wellsville Utah at the south end of Cache Valley, at the mouth of Sardine Canyon. Family records indicate all eight of their children were born in Wellsville. Evan was born 14 June 1867 in Wellsville; Lizzie Benson was born 9 July 1869 in Logan. They were married 24 Dec 1890 in the Logan Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Evan died 25 Jan 1934 in Logan. Lizzie died 1 Aug 1946 in Brigham City, Utah. This picture is of their home in Wellsville it is kitty-corner from the Wellsville Tabernacle. Many if not all of the children were born in their home. We look forward to postings on the blog from many of you.

Hi - trying to leave a comment and having difficulty! Anyway, my name is Tammie (Tamar) Scott, daughter of Leslie (born Elizabeth Fry Owen) who is the daughter of Cyril Benson Owen. Mom is 87 and still doing well. She lives next door to me here in Galway, Ireland. My brothers, Sean, Seamus and Seanchan all live in the USA. Mom still has lots of stories about grandfather and the time she spent visiting the relations in Utah as a child
