Howard was the 2nd child and son born to LeRoy and Susie Dunbar Raper.
He married Ethel Jean Johnson and they had 3 children: Suellen, Teddy, Howard Jr.
Howard met an untimely death in 1948 while on an early mornng ride in his roadster; he was hit by a drunk driver near Kingman, AZ and was dead when ambulance got him to the hospital.
He left behind his 2 small children and wife Jean who was expecting their last child, Howard Earl Raper, Jr born later the following month of Howard Sr's death.
His wife went by Jean, and she never remarried, always holding her husband's memory fondly to herself and her children.
I do not know why his grave is unmarked.
