Eula Lillian Arnold, the second of Dr. Thomas and Cinthia Barnett Arnold's children, was born January 13, 1876, in Jackson County, Georgia. She moved with her family in a covered wagon to Gaylesville, Alabama in the late 1880's and then to Pisgah in 1890, where her father was the only town doctor. She married David Edgar Howse on May 23, 1897. Ed and Eula had four sons, all born in Pisgah.
The family moved to New Mexico in 1907, five years before New Mexico became a state, and homesteaded on land outside of what is now Hobbs in Lea County. Their life was difficult in their early years in New Mexico. They lived in a dugout and then in a 16 x 16 tent for the first year. Lea County is in the New Mexico desert country and dry farming is difficult. They had a dairy farm and raised cattle, cotton and peanuts on the farm. Eventually, oil was discovered on their land. Eula died April 23, 1966 and is buried in Prairie Haven Cemetery, Hobbs, New Mexico.
Eula was the family historian and record keeper of her generation, and much of the information we have about our family is the result of her efforts.
