COL. ROBERT HOWARD BURIED AT COLUMBUS

Columbus, Ga., January 5--(Special)--The funeral of Col. Robert M. Howard, 
aged 80, whose death occurred in Eufala yesterday morning, took place here 
this afternoon from the First Presbyterian church.  Colonel Howard was with 
his daughter when death came.  He was one of the most prominent citizens of 
west Georgia.  He was a confederate veteran and author, a speaker of eloquence 
and a man of deep learning and chivalric impulses.  His death is generally 
deeply regretted.


Additional Comments:
I need a little help.  I'm trying to find out a little more about Col. Howard 
for a story I'm doing for the Schley county GenWeb site.  He was the keynote 
speaker at the unveiling of the Ellavile monument to Schley county's war 
dead.  I've not had a lot of success with his military career thus far.  It 
seems he was a member of an independant cavalry company.  There were few 
records.  I would also be interested in knowing what he authored and 
generally, what qualified him to be chosen as keynote speaker at the 
unveiling.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
