I grew up in Elk County and I remember when Dr. Moon and Ernest Gill were at the Funeral Home.
In 1974, my husband Stan Hopwood pastored the First Baptist Church in Howard. We lived in the pastorium across from the church and my daughter and Sylvia Spurrier were very close friends. At that time Herb Spurrier was the Funeral Home Director. We became acquainted with Lloyd Zimmerman during our visits to Howard after we moved back to Georgia. He was very kind and compassionate with us when my mother Ann Garrett passed away. We were shocked and saddened when our son informed us of the fire. Our prayers are for a complete recovery for Lloyd and that in time the healing process will be successful. I have fond memories of Howard and Elk County and I am so excited over this Elk County/Howard Forum which will allow me to keep up to date on the happenings back there. I will be glad to receive emails from anyone who wishes to contact me. I attended the Alumni Banquet in May as my class of 1957 celebrated our 50th year class reunion. Our best wishes go out to all of you and especially to the Zimmerman family.
