• Notes

  According to an oral account given by Susan Haskell Harrell: My grandmother, Valeria Serena Long Howze, from Athens was revered as a saint by my mother. She died when Susie, my mother was thirteen. From her letters, she was selfish and self-dramatizing. Susie, my mother took over the young family with her usual efficiency. Her three brothers adored her. The young family had hard times for a while when mother was growing up but she, an exquisite needle woman, achieved lovely clothes, was beautiful, and got along fine. Those were the days when the young gentlemen "called" on the ladies especially on Sunday afternoons. Susie's highest tab was fifty. She rode well, and she and my father started being interested in each other on horse-back. His first gift - serious - to her was a crop.
