Letter From a Former Floyd Man
(The following letter was written to Mrs. A. J. Huff, of Roanoke, by her uncle B. T. Howell, of Kansas, brother of the late Col. P. T. Howell, of town. This will interest many of our readers as Mr. Howell was born and raised here, and most of our older folks still remember him.-Ed.)
My Dear Neice:
I will write a few lines. At this time, we and all our children, so far as we know , are well. Our children are scattered. We have two daughters living here in Girard, both married. Four daughters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, three of them married. One son in Colorado. He is married and has a small family. One single son in California.
We are having fine weather here now but don't know how soon it may storm. Crops were good here this year, but business is dull. Not much building being done or property changing hand.
I am not able to do much any more. I got my hip broken two years ago and cannot do much. Can get a round some without a crutch but am losing my energy fast. But I should not grumble for am now in my 79th year and on Dec. 29, wife and I will have been married fifty years. We did think of having all of our children with us at that time but it's doubtful.
Now, we do not think it extraordinary that we have lived to our fiftieth anniversary, but it is rather uncommon. We are each the only living representative of our father's family. We have raised eight children, all stout, hearty men and women and have never had a death in the family. So we have more to be thankful for than to (?) him about.
Please tell if your uncles on your mother's side are living.
Wife's health is reasonably good. She was 74 last August. We both are going down the hill slope of time-not many more years to live at the most.
Love and best wishes to all.
B. T. Howell
