I'm new to the list, so please bear with me! We are looking for Robert Howell, c. 1915-1978, Pike &/or Floyd Cos., KY. Robert (possibly Rob) was the father of Okie Howell, Sr. (1930-1959). Robert was married to Hailey Osborn (spellings vary) Hailey is buried at Greenberry-Hall Cemetery near McDowell, KY, as is Okie, Sr. We think Robert's father was Anthony Howell, b. 1869/70. This is my husband's family and I really want to find out all I can for him, his children and now grandchildren. The families were evidently estranged in the 1940's and more so when Okie, Sr. died. I don't want to dredge up any unpleasant memories, but just to give my wonderful husband the peace of really knowing who he is.
