The Howard Family Ranch House, Ukiah, California
The Howard Ranch was from the Russian River east to Lake Mendocino and to the top of Cow Mountain according to descendant Porter Smith. It is told that the Howard Ranch still stands and had been located by the river, but was moved away from the flood area up to Redemeyer Road. It is still on the original property. An old tax record shows that Howard paid taxes of $36.97 in 1865 for his property located on the eastside of the Russian River, Ukiah Township, and “bounded by Sam Ackerman.”

Joan and Nancy Thude in the March 12th, 1940 Look Magazine
John McLaren (1846 – 1943) served as superintendent of the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California for 53 years. He dedicated his life in the development of the 1,017-acre Golden Gate Park, one of the largest public parks in the world, using considerable political skill in addition to his remarkable gardening skill. On March 12th, 1940, Look Magazine completed an article on “The San Francisco – Los Angeles Feud”. This article asked several prominent citizens to weigh in on the differences between the cities. On page 50, John McLaren was one of those citizens. He is shown posed with two little girls. These two sisters are Joan and Nancy Thude. As Nancy tells the story, we were just walking by when they were asked if they would want to pose with Dr. McLaren for this Look Magazine photo. And that’s the rest of the story……
Hi Denise,
Do you or any other members of the Howard clan, and any pictures of Peter May and Nancy Isabel Howard?
This is a great website. I appreciate all the research and work that went into it.
I have some mystery photos, I think they may be on some of the Howards, but don’t know.

Good Evening Carol,
Thank you, we have spent a lot of time adding all the information to our website. We have many more newspaper articles that we still need to get up on the site. We have some misc. pictures of the Howard clan but we are still trying to pull them all together. But, we don’t have any pictures of Peter May and Nancy Isabel Howard.
It would be great to see your mystery photos. Maybe we could identify them……
