O.W. could simply be the father's initials...

Thanks for clarifying.
If the deceased used the mother's name as his surname, it seems likely =
that=20
O.W. means Out of Wedlock. If not, maybe someone else will come up with =
a=20
guess.
As for "dis'd" maybe it means deceased and the person who filled out =
the=20
form was misspelling: diceased. That seems like a stretch. Do you know=20
whether the mother was deceased when her son died? If not, my guess =
won't=20
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).
