Howdyshell, b. 1864. married Mary Jane Taylor James W. Howdyshell, b. 1869; married Mary M Simmons (b. 1867) on 30 Aug 1891. It was my great grandfather Peter W. Wheeler that married the widowed Miriah Jane Minnick Howdyshell Sept 6, 1885. This was about a year following the passing of my great grandmother Lydia Margaret (Lee) Wheeler. Another tie I have with this branch of the Howdyshell family is that James W and Mary M Howdyshell are listed as the parents of my grandmother Sadie Howdyshell b. 25 Sept 1892, d. 11 Jan 1951 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
