David McArthur Gow Sr. is the son of Janet and Peter Gow. He was born in Chicago about 1893 and married Theresa Pedtke about 1914. They had 5 children. We think Margaret, who married Engwald Olson, Peter, and William were born in Chicago. Hugh, David Jr.and his twin, a girl, were born in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Their mother Theresa died giving birth to the twins and the twin girl died a few days later. We have little information on David Sr. The last account we have of him is from a newspaper clipping placing him in Chicago in 1929. I'm looking for any information on David Sr. or this family.

Hi Glen....
So sorry I'm late getting back to you, but I'm a bit behind in my research. Your aunt is absolutely correct. We are part of your family. Syd Rauworth is my husband and is the son of Clara Gow and Benjamin Rauworth. Last year we moved from Arlington,Tx. to Janesville Wi. to be closer to family. We would love to reconnect with you both. If you like you can e-mail me directly at bjbear1@airmail.net.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Bev

My name is David Gow, son of William Gow, grandson of David Macarthur Gow.
David Macarthur Gow was born in Scotland on May 4, 1894, and came to the US on the ship City of Rome at the age of 3 months. He married Theresa Pedtke in Cook County on Jan. 31, 1914.

His 1917 draft card indicates he lived at 1623 Rockwell in Chicago and worked as a plumber. My father William was born March 18, 1919, and lived at 3048 N. Spaulding in Chicago.
