Tiffany/Duncan comment:	Tiffany 1910 also mentions the window is "Ornamental" and the two outer panes are indeed ornamental [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED]
	Tiffany 1910 calls this just the McCown Memorial Window so likely the McCowns were the donors of the window [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED]
Comment:	The inscription was evidently updated to include the McCowns after they died [DEDUCED]
	The 1992 Census says that the window was documented to date to 1951, and possibly that was when the window was re-dedicated to include the McCowns [CENS1992, DEDUCED]
