Descendants of James Howard

Generation No. 6

14. CORA RACHEL⁶ HOWARD (WILLIAN HENRY⁵, JAMES THOMAS⁴, MALEKIAH³, MYRICK², JAMES¹) was born November 03, 1896 in Stanly County, NC, and died April 17, 1978 in Union County, NC. She married (1) JONAH NANCE 1916. He was born May 01, 1878, and died May 12, 1940 in Morganinton, NC. She married (2) L.L. LAMB 1952. She married (3) TOM NANCE April 06, 1965 in Union County, NC.

Notes for CORA RACHEL HOWARD:
Cora Rachel Howard was born November 3, 1896 she was the daughter of William Henry Howard who was the brother of Thomas Arthur Howard. She married Jonah Nance when she was 20 years old and Jonah was almost 40 years of age. They had 8 children and all lived except for one daughter, who died as an infant. As a young boy my best friend was Lyvon (Von) who was their youngest son. The thing that still stands out in my mind was how Aunt Cora made me feel so welcome when I visited their home. I spent many weekends with Von and we always had a great time. Clay and Wilson were both grown men and they acted like they were my older brothers. When they would go on dates with their girlfriends they would take Von and me along and place us in the movie theater in Monroe while they went about the serious business of courting. Every year when the County Fairs came to Monroe and Albemarle they would always carry us to see them. They never left us home, if they went some place they would take us with them.

Jonah inherited a large farm that contained three hundred acres of land when he was a young man. This is where they raised their family. It was located on the banks of the Rocky River, at the end of Army Road in New Salem NC. In his later years Jonah became ill and was hospitalized and this left Aunt Cora and the children to run this big farm without him. They did a great job and there was always plenty at their household. I remember one year that was especially bountiful. It must have been around 1950. This year the weather cooperated and all the crops they planted produced well. After the harvest they were able to have the house wired for electricity. Then they bought a new electric range, refrigerator and washing machine. They had indoor plumbing installed, which gave them running water. What a great convenience this was and it all happen at the same time!

One of the highlights of my young life happened when I was fifteen years old. Wilson allowed me to go with him and some of his older friends to Myrtle Beach South Carolina for a three-day weekend. Back in those days we considered Myrtle Beach to be as close to heaven as you could possibly get. I will always be grateful to Wilson for taking me on that trip. This pretty much typifies how the older boys treated Von and me.

Note; Aunt Cora is not my real aunt but I always called her that out of the great respect and love I felt for her.

Cora and Jonah are buried at the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, New Salem, Union County NC.
