Thanks for clarifying.
If the deceased used the mother's name as his surname, it seems likely
that
O.W. means Out of Wedlock. If not, maybe someone else will come up with a
guess.
As for "dis'd" maybe it means deceased and the person who filled out the
form was misspelling: diceased. That seems like a stretch. Do you know
whether the mother was deceased when her son died? If not, my guess won't
work.

Sorry for the brevity. This is for a male relative who died in the
Bronx, New York in 1936. Under Father's Name is (dis'd) O.W. and under
Mother's Name is Emma Stiebeling, (dis'd).
