Death of Mr. W.E. Howell

Mr. W.E. Howell died at his home yesterday afternoon at
four o’clock after an illness of four months. His death
had been expected almost ever since he was taken sick,
being seriously and dangerously ill all the while.

He has been shown every attention possible since he took
his bed, all being done that could be for him.

Mr. Howell was born and lived in this county all of his
life being about 53 years of age at the time of his
death.

He leaves a good faithful wife and four children and a
large number of brothers and sisters to mourn his death.

He was married to Miss Washa Willis Dec. 18, 1879 and
four children survive him, namely, Mrs. A.D. Williams of
Yatesville, Edgar, Homer, and a little boy Charlie, five
years old.

His death is the first in family of eleven children,
seven sisters and brothers, viz. Mrs. Marshall, of Gay;
Mrs. Bowden and Mrs. Langford of Ala.; Mrs. Rucker of
Barnesville; Mrs. Calloway of Sunny Side; Mrs. Story of
Lifsey; Mrs. S.S. Barrett of Lifsey and Mr. J.H. Howell
of Zebulon; Mr. S.A. Howell of Lifsey and Mr. C.D. Howell
of Thomaston, Sheriff of Upson county.

Mr. Howell was a devoted and affectionate husband and
father, a good citizen and an excellent neighbor.

The funeral exercises occur this afternoon at the Baptist
church at three o’clock, to be conducted by Rev. T.S.
Edwards, and he will be buried in the baptist cemetery
here.

Friends of his and the family extend sincere sympathy in
their sad hour of bereavement.
