Hey, Mrs. Isaac Alva Howard's name was Cora E. Pickett b 26 May 1882 Taney Co. MO. She and Alva (b 13 Jun 1883 d 8 Oct 1956, s/o Richard K. and Rachel A. Jennings Howard) are both buried in Edwards Cemetery, near Powersite. I don't know her relation to David Hadley Pickett, but that area north and east of Kirbyville, all along to Mildred, had lots of Picketts--there's a ridge called Pickett Ridge. I would think Cora was David's daughter, but I have his youngest daughter as Rosetta A. b 20 Aug 1882. His wife was Elizabeth Catherine Spoon. Their oldest son was William Daniel b 1860, who married an Edwards, but not until 1889. There are Pickett researchers/descendants on the Taney list. Anyone care to step in? V
