Death: [On 19 Aug 1930, Larkin Howard died in Magoffin Co at the age of 98. (actually 94 --b. Aug 1836--according to the Howard genealogy, pg. 328.) He was the brother of Rebecca (Higgins) Arnett's mother, Phoebe Howard, and thus H.G. Arnett's uncle. According to the Howard genealogy, he was intelligent and an entertaining conversationalist. He had served in the Civil War and especially after his wife died in 1908 probably enjoyed conversations with H.G. Lark lived in Royalton. H.G. Arnett thought enough of him to paste a copy of his obituary on the back cover page of his Journal. The obituary is copied below:]
"EASTERN KENTUCKY'S OLDEST MAN DIES AT MAGOFFIN CO. HOME
Lark Howard Passes Away On Eve Of Ninety-Ninth Birthday
Lark Howard, ex-Confederate soldier and probably the oldest man in Eastern Kentucky, if not in the entire State, died at his home near Royalton Thursday evening after about four months illness caused by a fall. Interment was made in the family cemetery Wednesday, the 20th, his ninety-ninth birthday.
Mr. Howard was an ex-Confederate soldier, having served through out the Civil War as a Lieutenant under Captain Cox. Like all the members of the human race, Lark had some of the weaknesses of the flesh, but he lived a consistent life. Honesty was his watchword and manhood his slogan. At his home on Licking River hundreds have been fed and sheltered. it was said of him and his good wife who preceded him in death, that not even the raggedest beggar was turned from their door.
He lived a long life in a world of crime and wrong, and he was never in a courthouse on any charge and was never sworn as a witness in a court proceeding. He manifested his faith in a Supreme Being and evidenced his respect for religion. His standards of honesty, his loyalty to friends and his interest in the general welfare of his country made Lark Howard a figure that will long be remembered, and won for him hundreds of friends who will mourn his loss.
God preserved his life, let us believe, on account of his sterling qualities, to ripe old age. The closing days of his life were spent in obedience to the faith he professed and he awaited with confidence the last stroke of the clock of time.
He was married to Polly Salyer in 1859. He was a member of the United Baptist Church since 1911.
He was the father of eleven children, seven of whom survive him: Mrs. B.W. Higgins [wife of Rebecca Higgins' brother, Branch], Mrs. R. L. Arnett [Robert Lee was the son of Farrish and Eliza Howard Arnett] and Mrs. Fred Prater, of Salyersville, Mrs. G. H. Howard of Ivyton and Ben Howard, of Royalton."
