Notes for CHARLES ALBERT HOWARD:
The wife of his
grandson Chester Simmons, Roa Bolley
Simmons tells that Charles Howard was a
very prominent citizen of Albion,
Indiana. His elaborate tombstone
indicates he was a man of some
prominence and wealth. He was
involved with the Opera House, Saloon
owner, and perhaps a basket
factory. Despite his notoriety the
local history books fail to mention him.
Charles A.
Howard is listed as the proprietor of
the Albion Opera House in the 1890
Indiana State Gazetteer and Business
Directory.

Notes for MATILDA BUTTERBAUGH:
No firm
documentation exists as to Matilda's
lineage but I strongly believe she might
be related to Joseph Butterbaugh
(1761-1857), a Revolutionary War
Veteran. Records place him dying
at Lexington, Ohio, just down the road
from the believed birthplace of Charles
Howard in Bellville, Ohio. Joseph
however is more of the age to have been
her grandfather. Our Matilda is
listed in the 1860 Pickaway county,
Ohio, Salt Creek Township census (age 21
of Ohio) along with George Butterbaugh,
age 60 of Penn., and Meary, age 19 of
Ohio. In the 1850 Ohio census a
possible match to our Matilta may exist
with the George Butterbaugh family in
Hocking county, Ohio but I strongly
doubt this is a match. (George, 63
of Maryland, Anna 28 of Ohio, Appoline
18 of PN., Margaret 16 of Pn., Matilda
13 of PN. -- the age and place of birth
do not match our Matilda)
The Albion
New Era, May 3, 1877:
The wife of Chas Howard was conveyed to
the asylum for the insane on Monday last
on account of her mind being deranged,
which was caused by her recent severe
spell of sickness. This is indeed
sad and Mr. Howard has the sympathy of
the entire community.
OBITUARY:
The Albion New Era, Thursday, June
10, 1880 Mrs. Howard, the wife of
Charles A. Howard, of Albion, died after
a very brief illness one day last
weekend and was buried Saturday.
She had been unwell for some time, but
was not considered dangerously ill until
shortly before she died.
The census
lists her parents place of birth as
Pennsylvania.

Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON SIMMONS:
OBITUARY:
FORMER ALBION MAN DEAD - George W.
Simmons, aged 73, died at his home in
Kendallville Monday afternoon from
hardening of the arteries. He had
been ailing for some months, and was
bedfast the past four weeks. Death
came peacefully as he slept. Born
in Jefferson township, Noble county,
September 28, 1857, the son of Abijah
and Margaret Branyan Simmons, he grew to
manhood there. He had lived all
his life in Noble county with the
exception of a few years in
Kansas. He was one of 12
children. He was united in
marriage to Loressa Howard, April 26,
1898. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons moved
to Albion soon after and remained here
until 1901, when they located in
Kendallville, where they have since
resided. He was recognized by his
many friends as industrious, frugal, a
sincere friend and a good neighbor, and
was a member of St. Mark's Lutheran
church at Albion all of his life.
Surviving are the widow, two sons,
Howard of Monroeville, and Chester of
Ft. Wayne, and two daughters, Mrs.
Dorothy Koder and Mrs. Liela Kessler,
both of Chicago, and four
grandchildren. Also two sisters,
Mrs. Jane Bushong of Avilla, and Mrs.
Ollie Randall of Chicago.
Family
notes: George made his living by
using a team of horses to pull a "dray"
wagon. As such, he would deliver
goods for local businesses to customers
located in town. Thus, today he
would be called a truck driver.
Loressa was a typical homemaker of those
times who stayed close to home and
raised the children. Loressa spent
her final years with her son, Chester,
in Coldwater, Michigan.
