CHARLES B. HOWELL

CHARLES B. HOWELL, was born at Winterset, Madison County, Iowa, November 10,
1867, and came to Barton County in 1878. He was married September 7, 1893, to
Miss Mary Ellen Langford of this county. They have four children as follows:
Jennie Evelyn, 17 years of age; Ada Gertrude, 15 years of age; Edna Gladys, 14
years of age and Virgil Vernon, 8 years of age. The children are being educated
in the schools of the county. The family resides in Great Bend in a modern
residence at 2912 Broadway with the exception of three months of each year which
they spend on the country home place. It is located fourteen miles northwest of
Great Bend and comprises the east half of section 36 in Walnut township. In
addition to this land Mr. Howell owns a quarter section in Clarence township
which he farms in addition to the home place. He also owns a quarter of land in
Ford County. The Howell country home is one of the most attractive to be found
in that part of the county. It is beautifully situated in a bend in Walnut creek
and is surrounded by large, well kept shade trees which are found on three sides
of the buildings. The residence contains nine rooms in addition to bath,
closets, pantries, etc. The barn is 30 feet square and among the other buildings
are found an automobile garage, granary and all the other necessary buildings
usually found on a modern Barton County farm. Mr. Howell is one of the best
known men in the county and has had a great deal to do with the development of
the county's resources. In addition to his own interests Mr. Howell has found
time to take an active part in affairs that concern the welfare of the county
and has served on the school board and is one of those men who came here in the
early days when the county was in need of development and went through the
hardships that were sustained by those men to the end that Barton County could
be made one of the best counties in the State of Kansas.
