SARAH'S FATHER
In 1850 White County, Tennessee, Robert Howard is 47,
born in Kentucky, Nancy 44, North Carolina.
Mary 24, Martha 22, SAMUEL 20, Rebecca 18, Isasc 16, Rutha 14,
Allen 12, Jane 10, James 8, Thomas 6, Patience 4, and Sarrah 2 were all born in Tennessee.
On the same census page was John Crook, who is described in this colorful story.
"Our outfit consisted of three yoke of oxen, two wagons, bedding, clothing, a few utensils, two cows and about twenty-five chickens. There were other families from Tennessee on the way to the Nebraska Territory - the families of Samuel Howard, Elias Mitchell, Pharagus Pollard and John Crook. There were no roads, no fords, and the men had to hold on to the wagon beds to keep them from slipping forward on to the oxen. The men all carried guns and killed prairie chickens, quail, wild turkeys, squirrels, now and then a deer, as the caravan moved westward to the Missouri river. It was an experience of travel one could never forget. One of the saddest of our family experiences came with the accidental overturning of one of our wagons which resulted in the breaking of a thirty gallon iron kettle mother used for making hominy and soap and rendering lard. It was an irrepairable loss, for the time, and it caused us great sorrow and inconvenience." "
"The early residents of Richardson county were without railroad transportation and the rough roads made traveling slow. Mr. Crook on one occasion journeyed back to Fillmore, Missouri, where his family stopped on the way out from Tennessee. There he bought six hogs and butchered them. He loaded the meat in his wagon and with Samuel Howard along to help him, started for home. Just after crossing the Missouri river - it was December 2, 1855 - a blizzard swept down from the prairies bringing with it a terrible snow storm. Mr. Crook went ahead of the wagon to break the road and was soon lost in the blinding storm. Left alone with the oxen and further progress against such a raging storm Howard unhitched the oxen and found his way to an Indian camp where he was taken in and royally treated. His feet were frozen badly and he required a great deal of care. The next day the storm subsided but the mercury was down to 20 degrees below zero. Mr. Howard was taken to his home by neighbors who had gone out searching for him, and Mr. Crook, who had somehow found shelter from the storm, went back after his wagon, ox team and load of meat. By this time the meat was frozen hard. On reaching his cabin home he had no place to store the meat, so he stood the pieces up to the side of his cabin covering them with some old linsey-woolsey. There the meat remained all winter frozen hard, the family cutting off chunks of it as the necessities required. In March, however, the meat was thawed and they fried it and put it away for the family use. That year nobody went hungry about the Crook place. They had hominy, corn bread and pork in plenty to spare.
