THE 9th ANNUAL 2008
Howerton Family Reunion
Claiborne County, Tennessee

Summary of the Ninth Annual Howerton Reunion

  Saturday, October 18, 2008

 Held at Springdale School on Highway 25E in Claiborne County , Tennessee

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Fay Barnard and Jean Barnard for all of their hard work in helping hold the reunion.  THANK YOU, WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU!

 We were fortunate this year in that Wally Howerton attended our reunion.  Wally is the editor of Howerton Heritage (a family newsletter about Howertons).  Wally had his laptop computer with him and burned some CD’s about the “First Howertons in America ”.  We all really appreciated the info that Wally shared with us about our Howerton roots.  We will be looking for Wally back again next year.

We gave three door prizes this year. 

 First prize was a booklet containing some family history and pictures.  It was won by Margie Howerton Struzinski, daughter of Clayton Howerton and granddaughter of Levi Brownlow Howerton.

 The second and third door prizes were pictures of some of our ancestors.  They were won by Ken Howerton and Fay Barnard.
