were a lot of them I think about twelve but not all of them came to
Oregon. A couple of the daughters got married and stayed in
Arkansas. The Howell that lived in Grant County was Lafayette
Howell. He had an older brother Andrew who eventually went on to
California and died in Hollywood in the early 1930’s. Another older
brother was Stanford Howell who settled eventually in Morrow County and died
in Hardman. Then there were the twins Doctor Caswell Howell and I can’t
remember his brother’s name and a younger brother Thomas and another that died
in his early thirties unmarried. One of the Sisters married a Llewelen
and that is all I can remember off hand. I have it all at
home.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Doctor Caswell Howell wasn’t a Doctor. They just named him that because

City<BR><BR>I found out a few years ago (when I sent for my grandmothers
original Social Security Application) that she was born in "rural Grant
County". Once I started really doing genealogy and was working on her Howell
family I came across Dixie Town. I couldn't help but wonder if that wasn't
where she was born since her father's family came originally from Arkansas.
She had an uncle who settled in Grant County but the rest of the clan moved to
Morrow County to Hardman. I sure wish I could prove her exact birth place but
I guess it will just have to be a speculation on my part. Thanks, Dale From:

Dale - it's still called Prairie City, but was originally called Dixie Town.
Roxanne Smith has created a marvelous website for Grant County at:
http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm. Prairie City is covered quite well there - I
just went there to check it out & the names bring back such wonderful
memories of our years there. You can find the Grant County Genealogical
Society's president's name & email address at the bottom of that website.
(I was a member when we started that society.) Years ago we visited my
dentist, Virgil Belknap in Idaho, before we moved to Prairie City. He told me
he was born there & indeed his father was a prominent Prairie City doctor.
My little granddaughter used to call it "Pretty City" and that's very
appropriate! Grant County people are wonderful & I miss them. ~Gerrie In a

called that and has that always been its name? Dale
