Adam and Bedie Brooks youngest daughter
Carrie C. Brooks married
James "Hart" Howard, son of
Thomas Arthur Howard. She inherited property on the East Side of Highway 218 in New Salem, NC and they built their home at that location. They had five children, all boys. The first two children were normal, healthy children. The last three boys were born severely mentally and physically handicapped.
Carrie and
Hart suffered through all parents’ worst possible nightmare: they saw all their children die.
Bobby died October 27, 1934, at age six months.
Wayne died November 6, 1945 at nine years old.
Emit died May 8, 1950 at nineteen years old.
G.W. was killed in an automobile accident November 18, 1950. He was 21 years old.
Glenn died March 15, 1960 of cancer; he was 32 years old.
Glenn married
Doris Presson and they had one daughter
Vickie Howard. Carrie and
Hart had some input in rearing their granddaughter,
Vickie. She was a godsend, especially after having lost all their children. Also see other photos of
Carrie Brooks Howard and
