    Notes:

    Francis Marion Howard

    My Father-in-law, Francis Marion Howard and his wife Mary Ann Greene had their first child, Ethel, at Blount's Ferry in 1898. Their second child, Willard, was born in March of 1900 also at Blount's Ferry. Thereafter, the family moved to Watertown. She lived to 103 so you can see I got this information from one who lived it.

    They lived in one of the row houses long enough to see the children walking the old board to walk to their school. Mr. Gelberg of the clothing store told me that that board walk got him in his original business. He would ride a bike to Watertown with a basket of clothing, sell it to the workers and return to town.

    Frank, as he was called, had a mule and a drag. It was his job to drag the excess wood into the burning fire. They lost their third child, Sadie to an unknown illness in Watertown. She was buried at the Hopewell Baptist cemetery near Blount's Ferry to be near the child's grandparents. Soon afterwards, they moved to McAlpin, Fla. The child's death seemed to have something to do with the move.

    An interesting note. Frank owned the mule and a plow, bedstead, some chairs but that was it, no wagon. He went to Max Brown at the State Exchange and Max loaned him a wagon to make the trip. Frank and Liza had to sharecrop for the first year but they raised 9 children, built two houses, was burned out of both, rebuilt and died leaving his children 200 acres debt free. He once told me in the last days he felt like he had somehow failed. One of the finest, most respected men in Suwannee County. More failures like Francis Marion Howard and this country would not be in the obvious trouble today.
