Howes Siblings circa 1950
This post is number 31 in the series of the #52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge where a group of us blog about a different ancestor for each week of the year. To learn more about the 52 Ancestor Challenge visit Amy Johnson’s site at Amy’s website.
I chose Onah for this edition because of her name. It is an old fashion name that you know came from a different time period. Onah is the sister of my grandfather Hugh A. Howes. She may be one of eleven children of which two of her siblings died in infancy. Born in 1894 to Louis Lafayette Howes and Martha Isabelle Hunter. The 1910 Census states that Martha Hunter Howes gave birth to 11 children and 9 survived.
She married Owen Francis Coburn (date not known) in Union County, Kentucky. She and Owen may have had 10 children. I have in my possession a set of photos taken at a reunion circa 1950 in Evansville, IN. Her father, Louis, is still alive at that time.
I can only identify my grandparents , my mother, and Great Grandpa Louis Howes is the following photos.
