Obituary
ARTHUR LEE HOWARD, 84, of Marion Station, died Monday, December 28, 2009 at McCready Memorial Hospital in Crisfield following a brief battle with lymphoma.
Born December 20, 1925 in Rehobeth, Maryland, he was a son of the late Asbury and Cecil Henderson Howard.
A graduate of Marion High School class of 1943, he was a life-long farmer and retired school bus driver of Bus #34 which he drove for more than 25 years.
Arthur was a people-person who enjoyed talking with family and friends. He enjoyed traveling with his grandchildren, especially to Lancaster, Williamsburg, and Hershey Park.
