JamesFranklinHounshell's head stone reads Honshell but I have the death certificate of Nannie Howard Hounshell with his signature in his own hand writing it is spelled Hounshell. Some of the Hounshell children spell the name Honshell, but my father chose to use the traditional spelling as his grandfather Hounshell.
The babies are Elizabeth
Honshell Spears and Ida Honshell Bassham. Picture was taken 1902 in Breathitt Co Kentucky. |
