I am looking for information on the
Merz and
Bowen families that lived in
Dawson Springs,
Hopkins County,
KY in the early 1920s. Elijah
Bowen, his wife Margaret Elizabeth
Spencer Bowen, and their children(
Alger, Callie, Tisha, James, Pearl and Evalena)were supposed to have had a boarding house in the town at that time. On May 1, 1921, Tisha married John George
Merz of Louisville,
KY in the town of
Princeton. The
Bowens did not approve of the match because John
Merz was Catholic and they were
Baptist. John
Merz was supposed to have run a five and dime store in the town which went bust after a brief time. Tisha gave birth to twins there in December of 1921 who died due to being premature. The twins were supposed to be buried in
Rosedale Cemetery. Where is this cemetery? If you know anything of these families or the location of the cemetery please reply. Thank you for your time.
