IN MEMORY OF MRS. HOWELL

Mrs. Iva Roberts Howell of Oak Level was born July 3, 1891 and was married 
to Wilson F. Howell on Dec. 14, 1914; to them was born one child, a daughter 
Edna.

Iva departed this life Feb. 25 and was laid to rest in Camp Creek cemetery. 
She had been in ill health for more than a year. It was hard to give her up, 
but it is sweet to know she is living in Glory. No one knew the pain she 
suffered.

She professed a hope in Christ at the age of 15 and joined the Missionary 
Baptist church at Camp Creek. She lived a pure, clean life. We don't 
understand why the dear Lord called her away from us, but He knew best. If 
she could speak she would say, "weep not for me dear ones, I am at rest." 
Still, there is a vacant place in the home that no one can ever fill, for 
she now sleeps in the arms of Jesus.

To know Iva was to love her; she met everyone with a smile and a kind word, 
always ready to lend a helping hand to everyone. She prayed to live and 
asked everybody to pray for her that she might get well to live on with her 
husband and only daughter Edna, whom she loved so much. It was not that she 
wasn't prepared to meet God, for everybody knew she had lived a christian 
life.

She is not only missed in the home but in the community and at church. God 
saw fit to take her home, where there will be no more pain and death. May we 
all live to meet her in Heaven. A sister-in-law, Mrs. Jim Shealey
