Miss Annie O. Howell Dead

One of Zebulon’s Sweetest and Best Christian Young Ladies Passes Away

Wednesday morning, the sad news of the death of Miss Annie Howell, which 
occurred Tuesday night at 4 o’clock spread over our town and cast a gloom over 
our people.

Her death was not entirely unexpected as she had been in bad health the past 
two years, but with a cheerfulness and brightness that was one of the traits of 
her beautiful character, she did not burden  those with whom she came in 
contact with complaints, and even to the last all were hopeful that she would 
soon be restored to perfect health.

Miss Annie was a beautiful young lady both in character and in person; with a 
nature that was free form affectation, she lived her short life happily and as 
a Christian.

She has been taken from our midst to be transplanted into a brighter and 
happier sphere. She has left us an example of inexpressible value. She has 
exchanged the laurel for her incorruptible crown that fadeth not away. Though 
lost to light, she is still to memory dear, and with her friends and those who 
knew her intimately, this memory will become dearer and sweeter as the years go 
by. We have enshrined her in our heart of hearts, and can leave her in the 
hands of "One who doeth all things well," and where her sufferings and pain are 
at an end.

The funeral services which occurred at the Methodist church yesterday, 
consisted of reading of the scripture by Rev. A.B. Pope and J.P. Burgess, 
several beautiful and appropriate songs sung by the choir, a short talk on her 
life by Rev. Pope and were concluded with fitting remarks by Rev. Burgess, who 
announced that memorial services would be held by the Epworth League Sunday 
night.
