My name is Sarah Moyers and Howard Ogden was my great uncle.(my papaw, Smith Osmar Ogden was his brother)I only wish that I knew him. My mamaw kept many of his letters that he wrote to her. It was so nice to know that someone remembers him. Rest in Peace Howard. Honored by Joshua Moyers [2017-03-29 01:41:13]
