Margaret Thomas Howe was the daughter of Elizabeth Thomas and James Harry Howe.
Granddaughter of Margaret "Dillie" Duncan & John Wilson Thomas, Jr. and Martha Ann Patton & William Henry Howe.
Margaret is a 1932 graduate of Ward-Belmont and attended Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. She returned to Nashville and married John Elliott Sloan on February 7, 1935. Margaret and John lived at their beloved Maple Grove Farm in Williamson County, where they raised their four sons, John Elliott Sloan, Jr., George Arthur Sloan II, Thomas Howe Sloan, and Paul Lowe Sloan III.
Margaret was a gracious hostess to her friends and family. She was a voracious reader, and at the age of 90, she self published six books ranging from a history of profile of all U.S. Presidents, reminiscences of her childhood and friends, a genealogy of family, and a history of Cain-Sloan Department Store which her father-in-law co-founded in 1903 and for which John E. Sloan, Sr. served as President and later Chairman of the board from 1937-1969.
Margaret served for many years on the boards of The Nashville Junior League, the Garden Club of Nashville, the Friday Literature Club and The West End Home for Ladies.
As an entrepreneur and with friend Peggy Dyer she launched the Maple Fox in 1969 which prospered in downtown Franklin Tennessee. She was a beautiful and bold rider who enjoyed fox hunting astride her favorite horse Saab. Preferring to ride by side saddle, she was a striking figure as she galloped across the countryside jumping rail fences then ending the day by hosting an elegant hunt tea for all the participants.
Miss Margaret was the grandmother of John Elliott Sloan III; Delphine Sloan Damon; John Oman Sloan; Catherine Sloan Coleman; Wendy Sloan Stengel; Anna Sloan Smith; Phyllis Sloan Fridrich; Dabney Sloan; Ashley Sloan Cary; Emma Casparis Sloan; and Paul Lowe Sloan IV. Twenty one great-grandchildren.
Her toughness, indomitable spirit and enduring sense of humor are captured in love of her favorite quotation: "If you don't learn to laugh at when you are old." of the era through which she lived, she said in one of her books " I am grateful to have been a part of it and hope future generations will be able to create a better more peaceful world for themselves."
