Howard married Mary Estella Carr, daughter of Ernest Oliver Carr and Nannie Lewis McCrea, about 1935.1 (Mary Estella Carr was born on 7 November 1910 in Pennsylvania 1 and died on 20 February 1988 in Detroit, MI 5 6.)

• They appeared on the 1940 US Census in Dearborn, MI on 2 April 1940. 1

Mary Renton..Daughter..29..PA..10th grade
Handley Renton..Nephew..2..MI

NOTE - The relationship to Handley Renton is confusing. How can this 2 year old be a nephew to Ernest Carr? I think it probably should be Grandson instead unless somehow Ernest Carr is related to another Renton. There was a surname written in on the line with the name Handley but it was erased. Additionally, the census form shows that this was the second marriage for Mary Carr.
