2.  1920 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  can't find, and I did page-by-page checks of Bourbon and German Twps., Marshall Co., IN (can't find Owen's parents, either).

3a.  1930 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  can't find Owen or Frances.  I suspect Frances is deceased, which is why her children are living with kin and not her, but we know Owen survived to 1966.
