Ozmer Family of DeKalb County, Georgia
I am in search of information on the John H. & Georgia Lee OWEN(S) Ozmer family. Georgia is a cousin through Sarah Frances GRANT Owen(s) sister of my fourth great-grandmother Martha Ann GRANT Simpson.
Cousin Georgia Lee was born 13 July 1867 DeKalb County & died 23 June 1942 DeKalb County. She & John H. Ozmer married 20 December 1887 DeKalb County. John was born
April 1862 & died 09 August 1940. I do not know where they are buried but think they could be buried in Masters Cemetery which is where many a Owen(s) are buried.
Georgia & John's children were: Lillie Ozmer born March 1889 & though still alive in 1910 is out of her parents house by this census, do know anything about Cousin Lillie other than this.
Joseph Windsor Ozmer born 31 July 1899 died
01 September 1965. Cousin Joseph married a woman named Elizabeth whose maiden-name I do not know sometime between 1920 & 1929. In 1930 Cousin Joseph & Elizabeth have a son, Joseph W. Ozmer Jr., age 10/12 months.
Cousin-in-law John was accused, along with Uncle Bryce/Brice Meredith Sprayberry, of murdering Uncle William Harvey & Aunt Mary Ann GRANT Sprayberry (another sister of Martha Ann GRANT Simpson; William is the brother of my fourth great-grandfather Bryce/Brice Meredith Sprayberry Sr.). The case though never went to trial for lack of evidence.
Thank You,
Lena
