Notes by the contributor:
The above data was collected and contributed by Paul H. Howard [email protected] This bible is now in possession of the surviving 2nd wife of Paul Leslie Howard, mentioned above. J.D. and Florence Hovey (witnesses to the marriage of John H. Yakey and Laura D. Hovey) are assumed to be the parents of Laura D. Hovey I have additional information on the descendant Howard line, and limited information on the ancestral Yakey line. I am seeking information re: descendants of Nona Howard (m. Hartzell Thompson, dau. Ruth?), Lula Howard (m. Wm. Cook, children: Bennie, Billy and Delores?), and info, on first wife of Jesse H. Howard, mother of Nona and Lula.
