You can barely see the name HOWEY near the peak of the storefront. Not sure of the first name of this couple, but his name may have been William. they had two sons. The story that was passed down to my mother was that the woman was raped and had a son before she married Mr. Howey. Mr. Howey adopted the boy and gave him his last name. The second son was named William.
"Picture #2 is William Howey, the only biological son of the man and woman standing in the front of the tobacco store. He married Emma Morgan.
