Editor W.H.
Fleming Receives
Interesting letter
An interesting letter to
Editor (Early County News) W.
Hoyle Fleming this week from
Mrs. R. E. (Aurie Grimsley)
Thagard tells of her interest
in having the Peter Howard Fam
ily line include the Lewis Horton
Howard family.
A Confederate soldier, Lew
is Horton Howard (12-28-1834 -
5-23-1862) died in Savannah, Ga.
and is buried in the Blakely
cemetery. His wife was Sarah
Grimsley, daughter of J. Wal
ton Grimsley. They had two boys:
John Edgar Howard and Joseph
Peter Howard.
John Edgar Howard’s (1859-
1937) children: William, Sam,
Joseph, Pryor, Sarah Alma, Cl
audia (Spooner), Georgia
(Drake), Ida (Lane), Emma, Ada
(Lane) and Edgar Howard.
Joseph Peter Howard (1861-
1937) children: Oscar, Les (Har
low), John, Gordon, Hattie
(Davis), Robert, Lewis and Coy
(Smith).
Mrs. Thagard is the daughter
of Hamilton Hayes Grimsley,
granddaughter of J. Walton Gri
msley and the great granddau
ghter of Joseph Grimsley. She
resides on Rt. 2, Dozier, Ala
bama. With many family lines
going back to Early County, she
probably has historical facts and
material which would broaden
the scope of knowledge of the
past in this county, which could
be used in the next volume of
the Early County Historical So
ciety's collections. The Society
is still accepting family lines.
Among the descendants of Jo
seph Peter Howard in this area
are: Edgar Howard, Donalson
ville, Ga., Charles Howard Lane,
Iron City, and an in-law, Mrs.
Nellie Howard, Donalsonville,
and P. L. Howard of Eastman,
Georgia.

Whenever possible, a child
should be mentally prepared be
fore being admitted to a hospital.
This is not possible in emerg
encies, but is possible when ad
vance notice is given. Children
fear the unknown, but face sit
uations quite calmly when they
have been properly informed
about what will take place.
They should be told that they
are going to the hospital so
that the doctor can make them
better. Be sure to let the child
know that the nurses and doctors
are their friends, and will be
doing everything possible to help
the child. A little preparation
in advance may save the child
of lot of anxiety.
Everyone in medicine has only
one purpose. . to help the pat
ient. That’s the reason we al
ways take the greatest possi
ble cure when filling your pre
scriptions. See us when you need

Girl Better
After Tick
Is Removed
CINCINNATI (UPl)—When
Lori Jean Meyer, 4, of St.
Martin, Ohio, awoke Sunday
she could not walk and could
barely talk.
She was taken to Children’s
Hospital here where her
mother. Mrs. Lee Meyer, dis
covered a tick on the back of
the child’s head.
“We removed the tick and
she recovered completely,"
said Dr. Melissa Picardi.
“You have to find the tick
before the patient goes into
respiratory arrest’’
Dr. Picardi said a poison,
which can be transmitted
only by a pregnant female
tick, causes a nervous disor
der — acute cerebellar ataxia
—which results in death if
not properly diagnosed.
A similar case was report
ed earlier this month in Mi
ami, Fla. Cynthia Frame, 9,
also recovered when the tick
was removed.
Lori Jean was discharged
from the hospital Thursday.
