Jewel,

I checked the index of both cemetery books (2 volume set) for White
County, no How/Howe listed. I checked Volume III of the White County
Cemetery Books also, no How/Howe listed. Vol. III of the White
County Cemetery Books covers all the cemeteries, within a three mile
radius of the White County line, that we could find in the five
adjoining counties around White County.
