Classification: Query
Surnames: Coson, Owens, Wilkens
Here is the latest info I have on Eva Coson Owens Wilkens. She was born Eva Coson and was raised by Stephen & Matilda Rosegrant Owens in Ottawa county. Eva was born according to 1870 census in Kansas abt 1876. Her marriage record lists her birth as being about 1873. According to the 1900 census she lists her birth as Mar 1876 and her birth place as Michigan, her Fathers birthplace as Minnesota and her mothers birthplace as Michigan.
Among Eva's possesions were a picture of a woman labeled as Grandma Coson, a pic of Eva with her two brothers (Coson Bros.?) and an address for a Mrs. Bert E Coson in Rochester MN.
Eva was Murdered in 1904 several family members had copies of the newspaper reports of this. I am interested in communicating with other Coson Family researchers so we can put put our pieces together.
