JOSEPH STEWART HOWARD b. 26 Sep 1834
Joseph S. Howard was the son of Joseph Howard and Jennie McAlily.He was born in Illinois and the family later moved to Iowa - Lee Co., then Lucas Co.
I believe he 1st married Margaret Frances Hannah.She is buried in Sugar Creek Cemetery, Randolph Co. MO.In the listing I saw, it gave her date of death as 15 Apr 1860, wife of J.S., dau of R & M Hannah.Another source says her date of death is 15 Apr 1866.
I am unable to find Joseph on the 1860 census.
He received his training at McGee College in Mound, Macon Co., MO.
During the Civil War he served the Confederacy in Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry as Chaplain.
He was President of Bethel College in McLemoresville, Carroll, TN sometime between the end of the war and 1871.
About 1867(1900 census they were married 33 yrs), Joseph married Angeline Younger, daughter of Williamson and Louisa Patton Younger, b. Carroll Co., TN.
In 1870 he is in Chariton, Macon, MO:
J.S. Howard 36, minister, b. IL
L.A. Howard 24, b. TN
E.L. Howard, female, 9, b. MO
S.J. Howard, female, 7, b. MO
S.F. Howard, male, 4, b. MO
S.E. Younger, female, 22, attending school, b. TN
S.A. Younger, female, 17, attending school, b. TN
I assume the 2 Youngers are L.A.'s sisters
In 1880 they are in Oxford, Lafayette, MS
J.S. Howard 45, b. KY - TN - SC, Pres. Female Institute
L.A. Howard 34, b. TN - VA - TN, lady teacher
Lou Howard, female, 20, b. TN - KY - TN
Ellen Howard, 19, b. MO - IL - TN
Joana R Howard, 17, b. MO - KY - TN
W.A. Howard, male, 7, b. MO - KY - TN
In spite of the KY birthplace, I think this is the right family.Joseph was President of Union Female College in Oxford 1875-1887.
I don't know who Lou is or where Samuel F. is - he would have been 14.In later census records I have been unable to find a W.A. Howard.I am guessing that the Joana R is Josephine.
I found mention of an Ellan May Howard marrying Samuel B. Cook but have been unable to find them on a census.
The marriage record for Albert H Weston says he married Sarah Josephine Howard, 28 Feb. 1885 in Oxford, Lafayette, MS.
Joseph served as President of Texas Female College, Weatherford, TX from 1892-97.
On the 1900 census Joseph and Angie were in Claiborne Parish, LA:
Joe S. Howard 65, married 33 yrs, b. Sep 1834, IL-TN-TN, school teacher
Angie L Howard 54, 1 child, 1 living, b. Jan 1846 TN-VA-TN
With them on this census is Joseph's daughter Josie H & her husband Albert H. Weston and their 4 children.
Joseph apparently died between 1900 and 1910 as Angie is a widow, living in Humboldt, Gibson, TN with her stepson in 1910.
Samuel F. Howard 44, married 7 yrs, b. MO-IA-MO, Superintendent
Florence P Howard 43, 1 child, 1 living, b. TN-TN-AL
Samuel F. Howard, Jr. 5, b. TN-MO-TN
Angeline Y, stepmother, 63, widow, 3 children, 0 living, teacher
Elizabeth Penn sis/law 38, b. TN-TN-AL, teacher, art school
On the 1920 census they live in Iuka, Tishomingo, MS
Samuel F. Howard 53, b. MO-IL-MO, Superintendent -city school
Florence P Howard 52, b. TN-TN-AL, teacher - H.S.
Francis Howard 14, b. TN-MO-TN
Angie Howard, stepmother, 73, widow, b. TN-VA-TN, teacher-primary
Also in the household are bro & sis-in-law Bettie Lou & Dean Moss and their 2 sons.
The number of children Angie had is confusing since in 1910 it says 1 and 1920 it says 3.From other census' it looks like the W.A. on the 1880 census was her only child.
I found the following obituary for Angie from the 1923 Humboldt Courier-Chronicle, Gibson Co. TN:
Friday, March 2, 1923
MRS. ANGIE HOWARD - beloved by many people of Humboldt, died at the home of her son, Prof. S.F. Howard in Iuka, Miss. on Sunday morning, February 25th, after an illness of length.Mrs. Howard was for many years teacher of the Primary Dept. of the Humboldt Public School.when her health began to fail some years ago, she resigned her place here and went to live with her step-son, Prof. Howard.The remains were taken to Athens, GA, and buried by her late husband, The Rev. J.S. Howard.She was in her 77th year and is survived only by her step-son and her step-daughter, Mrs. Weston of Athens.
(note - I think the Athens referred to is in Louisiana, not Georgia - Josephine Weston lived in Athens, LA)
I would welcome any additions or corrections to this information.Thanks.
