General Notes for Child Lyda Adeene OWENS

---

Lyda moved to Edwards County when she was four years old and made her home with her aunt and uncle, Anthony Wayne Owens and Mary Emma Glasscock Owens. After graduation from Rocksprings Public Schools, she attended Business College in Waco, Texas, and later kept books in her Uncle's store and worked for the Rocksprings Telephone Co. Lyda had two brothers, Troy Owens (Slick) of Rocksprings and Tony Owens of Brady, Texas, and one sister, Emma Belle Owens Rote, of San Antonio, Texas, all of whom proceeded her in death.

Lydia Cloudt was very active in civic, social and church affairs; she was one of the first women who ever served as a trustee for the Rocksprings Public Schools. She was a past president of the American Legion Auxiliary and the Merry Heart Study Club. She served as Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star and treasurer of the Rocksprings Woman's Club for six years. She was a member of the Baptist Church for seventy years. In 1963 she was chosen "Mother of the Year" by the Rocksprings Woman's Club. In 1968 she was chosen queen of the Old Settlers Reunion. In May 1983, she received a "Distinguished Citizen Award" in appreciation for long and faithful service to the growth and development of Edwards County.

Mrs. Cloudt continued to live in town after her husband's death and was active in civic affairs until her health declined in 1977.

Lyda died in San Antonio, Texas, at the home of her youngest daughter, Mary Emma Cloudt Winkenhower, September 4, 1983, and was buried in the Rocksprings Cemetery beside Mr. Cloudt. Mr. and Mrs. Cloudt had eleven grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren. ^6,36,43,44
