S. HOWELL, OPELOUSAS.--S. Howell, manager of the E. H. Vordenbaumen Lumber
Yard, and agent for Water's Pierce Oil Company, is a native of Union City,
Tennessee, born October 10, 1868.  He is a son of S. and Fanny (Crooks)
Howell, the former a native of Tennessee.  He removed to Tennessee while a
young man, and there married our subject's mother.  While in Tennessee he
served as clerk of the court for many years.

S. Howell was reared in Tennessee and Louisiana, and received his education in
the schools of these States.  He was for several years engaged with his uncle
in nursery business in Dallas, Texas.  In 1887 he took charge of E. H
Vordenbaumen's lumber interest at Lafayette, as manager.  In the same capacity
he came to Opelousas in 1880, and has charge of Mr. Vordenbaumen's interests
here.  Mr. Howell is a young man of strict business habits and is worthy of
the esteem in which he is held.
