I have been reading posts on this forum to find information about Howard. My family lived in Howard 1960 & 1961. I was in 1st and 2nd grade. Dad, Marshall Harrison, was the Music Teacher at the Highschool and I assume the grade school. We lived about 1/2 block away from the school, across the street from Doc Berthlesen. My brothers and I loved to play on the metal tubular fire escape that was attached to the high school. Mom would have a fit and we were in so much trouble when she caught us.
Looking at the Howard map I believe we lived on W. Randolph in a small 2 bedroom house. In the next block to us there was a park. Behind us was a barn and there was a lady that killed chickens on a stump. A family with the last name as Beaumonts lived in that same block. I believe they kept a home for the elderly(maybe). The daughters were Joyce and Glenda (or Belinda) Beaumont.
I remember the 1961 centenial where many of the residents grew beards.
I have always wanted to come back to Howard just to see what it looks like now (live in state of Washington). I can still remember the smell of the cinamon rolls from the school, the blue skies, freshly cut grass and meadowlarks singing. I have some very happy memories of Howard, Kansas.
Thanks for you posts! Marsha
