James, I am aware of a total of six E98s that have Howe's stamp on them. I've seen photos of them from an individual who had two T206s with the stamp, but don't know what happened to any of those eight cards. I do know the person who had them back in 2009 no longer owns them, but he hasn't been able/doesn't want to share what happened, at least to the T206s I had been interested in.
Dave, thanks for the info. Through a different source than Ancestry.com, I have also found the grave marker for Howe and Thelma, he passing away in 76, and her five years later. I've not been able to find out anything else about Betty, as she doesn't show up on any census info that has been released yet, and there is a record of a death for a Betty McCormack (sp?) in '85 who was also born in 29. Guessing from that, she never married.
Still lots of blanks in Howe's history. His sister appears to have married before 1930, but passed before 1940. No children listed for her, either.
Just need to find that long lost, great great great nephew or niece who knows all the answers, and has a couple hundred more of Uncle Howe's cards that they are just willing to give away.
Thanks to everyone on the board for their support and help in trying to reassemble the collection.
Ed
