ROBERT A. HOWELL SUCCUMBS FROM HEART ATTACK

Piedmont, Ala., Oct. 13

Robert A. Howell, 60, died suddenly Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at his 
home at Spring Garden from a heart attack. Funeral services were held Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock at Pleasant Gap cemetery, the Rev. A.W. Gregg 
officiating, assisted by the Rev. W.D. Barnes. Interment was in the church 
cemetery with Usrey directing.

Masons had charge at the grave and served as active pallbearers. Surviving 
are two daughters, Miss Mary Howell at home; and Mrs. Fred Warren of Spring 
Garden; two sons, Hanes at home and Lee of Spring Garden; four brothers, 
E.M. and Walter of Piedmont; J.W. of Jacksonville and Albert of New Mexico.

Mr. Howell was striken while enroute to Rome, Ga. with a truck load of baled 
cotton, a short distance from Spring Garden. He caught a ride in another car 
back home and died within a few minutes after reaching his home.

For thirty years he had been a rural mail carrier at Spring Garden, retiring 
six years ago. He operated the Spring Garden Gin and had other interests. 
Born in Cleburne county, he came to Spring Garden early in life where he had 
since resided. For many years he had been a leader in the Methodist church 
and Masonic Fraternity and the high esteem in which he was held was attested 
by the huge throng attending the funeral services. Mr. Howell's wife died 
suddenly four months ago.
