HIST: Biography of Mary Abigail Grow Owen, by dau Luella O Lambert, Rawson-Coffin Family book pg 118:

My mother, Mary Abigail Grow Owen, was born 27 Mar 1866 at Huntsville, Weber,UT, the daughter of Wm Moyer and Esther Hunt Coffin Grow. Her early life was spent there at Huntsville also. She was personally acquainted with Pr David O McKay, as he played, as a boy, with her brothers. She kept in touch with him during her life, seeing him at Conferences, etc. She sent her oldest son, Charles, to Weber College while Pr McKay was principal there.
Her parents moved to Camas ID, and it was there that she met Joseph Henry Owen, an Engineer on the railroad at that time. There were married 5 Aug 1883. Their first child, Joseph Wm, was born at Beaver Canyon, being born prematurely and lived only a short time, death occuring a few minutes after father blessed him with a name.
2 other children were born at Camas - Mary Ethel and Charles Henry. They then moved to a farm at what is now Ammon (ID). Here, 6 children were born, 2 died young-Zella Abigail bn 23 Aug 1899, died 11 Dec 1890 of summer complaint, and James Victor bn 24 Jul 1891, died 28 Feb 1892 of scarlet fever. Father then died after a short illness, leaving mother with 6 living children.
Mother and father had been planning on moving to Ogden UT. In fact, father had bought a home there, near the home of his parents, on Cross St. So, after father's death, mother decided to move there to live. Here, another child, Goldie Alverda, was born 5 months after father's death. After spending the winter there, mother decided to move back to Ammon, which she did in the spring of 1903.
Mother worked hard taking care of her family. She also worked in the Church. She was president of the Young Ladies Mutual for quite a few years. She served on the Old Folks committee and sent 3 of her family out into the mission field as missionaries.
Her youngest child, Goldie Alverda, was in the mission field at the time of her death, which occurred 10 Jan 1924 at Idaho Falls ID. She was buried in the Ammon Cemetery beside the graves of father and mother and 2 of her children. The oldest child was buried at Camas.
In the fall of 1910, mother began moving each fall to Logan UT, so that the children could attend the Brigham Young College there, then would return to Ammon as soon as school closed each spring, except for the spring of 1914, when she and daughter, Lois, stayed at Ogden UT with her mother-in-law, her father-in-law having passed away.
Mother moved back and forth for about 9 years. She worked at the Temple there, doing work for the dead, along with some research with her cousin, Mary Garner.
Several families from Ammon arranged with mother to have their sons and daughters stay there with her at Logan, sometimes 2-3 at a time, so mother worked very hard those years. One year she took in a son of her brother, David Grow, treating him with love and kindness, along with her own children.
Mother was an excellent cook, her pies especially being the very best. She was a good neighbor and wasactive all of her life in church work. She was buried 15 Jan 1924.
