Piedmont Inquirer, April 7, 1899
In Memoriam.
	Mrs. Harriet V. Howell, nee Parker, was born in Walton County, Georgia 
on the 17th of July 1833, and died at her home in Oak Level, Cleburne County, 
Alabama, March 10, 1899.  
	She was united in marriage with Rev. W. P. Howell, in Cleburne County, 
Ala., December 29, 1850, and lived happily with her devoted husband until her 
death.
	At the early age of 14 she made a profession of religion and united 
with the M.E. Church, South, of which she remained a consistent member through 
life.  Sister Howell was the mother of ten children, eight of whom are now 
living.  She was a model house-wife--”a keeper at home,” and in the true sense 
of the word, was a help-meet [sic] to her husband, sharing his joys and sorrows 
and uniting with him, truly and earnestly, in the responsible duty of rearing a 
large family.  Sister Howell, was an elect lady whose life was one of 
gentleness and peace.  Truly it could be said of her, that she adorned the 
profession of Christ, being a living witness for Him in her daily walk and 
conversation.  Hence, in her life there shone out continually the “beauty of 
holiness.”  She attested the power of the gospel to save, by living her 
religion daily.  There is no estimating the value of such a life in its sweet 
influence upon others.  Not until the judgment reveals all things, will the 
full extent of this good woman’s example be known.
	Sister Howell was a great sufferer with a lingering malady which slowly 
sapped the fountain of life.  But in the midst of all her sufferings there was 
a patient resignation to the will of God.  She died as she had lived, in the 
triumph of that faith which had sustained her in the midst of all her 
sufferings.
	May that gracious God who sustained her in life comfort the bereaved 
husbond [sic] and children who now sadly mourn her death.
					M.T.M.
