A Tribute to a good Man

On January 1, 1924 just as the morning sun came over the
hills to brighten the new year day, the spirit of Mr. H.
H. Howell answered the divine summons, "come up higher". 
For the past several years he had been an intense yet
patient sufferer, but for some weeks prior to his passing
away he seemed to be improving, hence his sudden death
was quiet a shock. In early life he connected himself
with the Methodist Church and remained faithful to the
end. In his death the church has lost one of its most
faithful members. In his last few years he was very
feeble having sustained a fractured hip, but as
physically affected as he was, he would ride thru
winter's cold and summers heat to attend his church
meetings.

As steward and trustee he served faithfully, finding
pleasure in doing service for the church. It is natural
that we as church brothers and sisters should grieve at
parting with such a faithful one but may we find comfort
in the thought our loss is his gain.

During the civil war he answered his Country's call and
spent eleven months at the front, suffering with
undaunted courage. He loved and cherished his comrades in
arms; it being a source of much pleasure to him to attend
the yearly reunions and appreciated every courtesy
extended him as a true Veteran. l the hardships the
soldier's in gray were
