Talked with Grandma Howell today, April 6, 2004, and went through the names of Miller's possible siblings. She confirmed their relationship by stating Uncle Amari was called "Uncle Bird". She remembers going to "Dad Howell's" funeral and stopping at Aunt May Grimsby's (?spelling) in Salva(?spelling), N.Y. So we are under the impression that Miller Howell is buried somewhere around the Syracuse area. We have yet to verify.
