Notes for FULTON MARTIN HOWARD:
Fulton Martin Howard was born February 24, 1909, he married Ruby Lee Drye in 1931. They had two children, Edward Dimpy and Reece Haskel Howard. Soon after their marriage they assumed total care for Ruby's two younger sisters, Mildred and Doris Drye. They raised those two girls until they were grown. They were treated just as if they were Fulton and Ruby's daughters. They bought an old, one room schoolhouse from Dora Godwin that is located one half mile south of New Salem, NC. They remodeled the building and made this their home. Fulton was a mechanic by trade and worked hard to help support his family. He suffered from emphysema from the time he was a young man until it caused his death October 23, 1964. Ruby was an extremely dedicated and hard working individual. She worked at public jobs all her life to help support her family. They were both products of the Great Depression of the Thirty's. Being willing to work in those days were not enough because it was almost impossible to find a job. Although material things were not always plentiful in this household in the early years of their marriage, there was always an abundance of love. Maybe that is the most important aspect of any family in the long run anyway. Ruby passed away October 15, 1982.
Fulton and Ruby are buried in Lakeland Memorial Park, Monroe, NC.
