In the census of 1880, two of my ancestors, John B. SCOTT and Everett SCOTT were working in the HOWARD HOUSE, which was like a hotel. Everett Scott married Carrie Belle FOXWELL in 1886 in DC, and he gave his occupation as Clerk in the Howard House. I could not find Everett Scott or his wife in the DC census of 1900, which seemed strange to me. They had a daughter May 5, 1890 in 506 Rhode Island Ave. NW and seemed to disappear from there, especially Carrie Belle (Foxwell) Scott. She could have died in childbirth. I could find neither one of them in the census of 1810 for DC, but I found ads of Everett Scott trying to find similar jobs as he had in the Howard House from December 1906 to May 1907. The only address given was the Howard House. Someone wrote me that he also was putting in ads in 1909 from the Howard House. As he wasn't in the census of 1910, he must have gone to MD or VA to work, but returned to DC in the census of 1920 as a SINGLE roomer and was retired. He was also in the DC census of 1930 as a WIDOWER in an apartment. He died in 1931 and is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. His death certificates stated that he was a widower married to Carrie Scott. I would like information on the history of the HOWARD HOUSE. I understand that it was located on Pennsylvania and 6th Street NW. I am more interested in the closing of the Howard House than the opening. I would like any information or thoughts on how I can find out where the Everetts that are listed above were between 1890 when their daughter was born and 1920 when Everett Scott appeared in the DC census roles. If anyone has access to city directories, this might help me. I would like any information or ideas on the whereabouts of Carrie Belle Scott, who must have died or remarried between 1890 and 1900, as her daughter was staying with the daughter's grandmother in the census of 1900. Please help me, if you can, as these are my great grandmother and grandfather. If you know anything about Gabriel James Lanyon Foxwell who married Alice Maria Davis in DC in 1855 and had a daughter named Carrie Belle Foxwell and Alice V. Foxwell, who were all in the family mode in the census of 1880. Gabriel died in 1898 leaving Alice M. Foxwell to live with her daughters in 1900, but I could find none of them in the census of 1910 in DC. Alice V. Foxwell married a Marks, but thats all I know for DC. They showed up in Norfolk, VA after the census of 1910, including the daughter that was born in 1890, my grandmother. I hope I have not overwhelmed anyone, but any help you can give will be appreciated, John Barlow in Tennessee
