Margaret Pearl Manning decided to go by the name Pearl Margaret Manning. She is listed on her son's birth certificate as Margaret Pearl Manning. Howard and Pearl had 3 boys who died; Wesley, Glen and the name of the other boy is Unknown. They are buried in Red Hill Cemetery(#2) or the Red Hill Annex, Speedwell, Claiborne County, Tennessee.
According to Foster Manning, Pearl's half-brother, they were playing hide-and-seek when John William Earl "kidnapped" Pearl and helped Howard Earl and Pearl to elope.
In the 1920 Census, Howard, Pearl and Edith are listed.
Howard and Pearl divorced on February 26, 1929 in Harlan County, Kentucky.
