hmmm, you're right! He just seems to vanish after the 1930 census. Can't find him on the SSDI either. I've found other Frank's, but not with that birthdate. Closest I came was 1928. Hopefully, someone out there is connected to him.

SusieQ, you might want to do a search on the Sterling Gaz. Index, on Owens, Frank. I would say there is some 6 or so that just might be him, ranging 1943 - 1944 - 1945.

Frank R. Owens, Frank Raymond Owens.

Good Luck
Jack

Thanks for your help Denise and Jack. I found that Frank Owens was killed in action in the European Theatre in WWII It appears he was buried in Luxumborg. That explains why I could not find any info on him. The Sterling newspaper index is great.
