Hello. I am Victoria (Harris) Hill in Phoenix, AZ. My mother was Edith Howie from Aberdeen, NC. I am researching the Howie & Stubbs Families and would appreciate any help or suggestions anyone could give me in the search. I recently started going through old letters from her cedar chest and they have raised many questions that have piqued my interest. I have already learned a great many things I never knew before, for instance, did you know that dry cleaners used to be called 'Pressing Clubs'? Any how---her father was Harry Lee Howie, Sr and he was married to Ethel Mae Stubbs. They had a peach orchard out on Sandpit Road in Aberdeen. She had 3 brothers, Morrison, Harry, Jr & Charlie, and one sister, Ethel Gene. Thanks again for any help you can give a newbie to this quest. Vicki Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light! --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! - Internet access at a great low price.
