• Margtown (Adobe PDF, 294K) is the story of Margaret Morgensen Owen. You will notice that the name of the book is a conscripted form of that whole name. It is a picture of Margaret's life pretty-much from start to finish. It covers life from country days in Alberta, Canada where being on a horse, with all sorts of pets around was an ordinary thing, and bringing the cows home from the pasture on the ranch was a fun experience. Moving, during seventh grade, was to a very different life in Iowa. This life-style soon gave way to a time of being especially interested in music. Then the story moves on to college days in Iowa and Minnesota. From there the book begins describing the professional life of the author. There are many moves to such places, as Georgia, Cuba, Virginia, and finally Alabama. After that comes the excitement of married life and mother- hood, not to speak of grandmotherhood. Choir direction, and Bible teaching have been important. Writing has become an avocation, and becoming president of the National Federation of Music in Alabama has been a special experience.
