Notes:

Below are some brief stories my grandfather told me of growing up around Hinton, Kentucky.

When Howard was growing up, there were no theaters in the area, no radiosand the television had not yet been invented. For entertainment, people would walk to the homes of friends and relatives to play Rook, Checkers, and Dominoes. On Saturdays everyone would go to Hinton, KY to socialize. Some of the boys would connect one end of a wire to the coils of the Ford Automobiles and the other end to any metal part on another car. When someone got into the second car, they would get a shock. His Parents bought thier first car in 1929, a 1925 Model T Ford. They also bought a radio around the same time, an Atwater Kent, in Williamstown, Kentucky. Howard remembers listening to Jack Dempsy fights over the radio. After World War II, some saloons bought TV's and people would come in and watch while they had a drink. Howard graduated from Renaker High School which was located outside of Cynthiana, KY. His High School Prom was held in the Masonic Lodge in Corinth, KY.

Howard and Della where married and divorced twice. The first marriage took place in 1936 and the second in 1949. Some time after the 1949 divorce, Howard and Della's four daughters, who were being cared for in a private home by a third party, were turned over and became Wards of the Court. The private home was in Park Hills which is in Kenton County, Kentucky. The girls were then sent to an orphanage called The Covington Protestant Children's Home for six years. The orphanage was founded in 1882 and still exists today under the name, Children's Home of Northern Kentucky. Howard married Ruby Jean Barkeloo in 1953 and eventually they were able to gain custody of the girls at which time they were adopted by Jean, as everyone called her.
